[CentOS] tcpdump loses lots of packets

If I send packets without qtx, like this:

tcpreplay -i p1p1 5min.pcap

then tcpdump on the receiving box has no problem, and keeps up happily
with the queries, and receives all of them into the pcap file. It seems
like the qtx module is somehow interfering with the packet capture, but
I don't know how or why yet.

Anyway, for low packet rates, such as 20,000 q/s, qtx isn't necessary,
so I will not use it when I want to do packet captures.
