Sorry, should have elaborated a bit more.
I am using ethereal on Solaris 2.6 with the most up to date libpcap (v0.4)
The capture is stated with the "Update List Of Packets In Real Time" option 
selected.  Then when I click on the [Stop] button I cannot select "Start..." 
from the capture menu again.

Perhaps 0.8.2 doesn't have the update that you mentioned with the current CVS 
version!?
