Hi

I haven't seen this problem before, so...

We have found that capturing with on Win32 can cause
Ethereal to hang, possibly indefinately. The problem 
occurred while we were capturing traffic for a single ip 
address. When we tried to stop the capture by clicking 
on the stop button Ethereal seemed to hang. Only after 
the machine we were filtering traffic for sent out a 
packet or received a packet did Ethereal display the 
captured data, sometimes 3 minutes later! 

After this we found out that pinging the machine also 
solved the problem.
