This one is after the switch from libpcap 0.6 to libpcap 0.7

Package: tethereal
Version: 0.9.13-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream sid

After some time tethereal runs (I run it as 
tethereal -Nnt -l -ta -i eth1 -f "port not 22"), it just ignores all 
packets, and does not print any output. 

This did not happen, when I was using 0.9.12-3. 
It is also possible that this problem appeared with 0.9.12-2 -> 
0.9.12-3 change, but because I did the 0.9.12-2 -> 0.9.12-3 upgrade on 
Thu Jun 12 11:26:29 2003 and the 0.9.12-3 -> 0.9.13-1 upgrade just 13 
hours later, I cannot tell for sure. 

Maybe this is a libpcap problem, I don't know. The only upgrade of 
libpcacp I did recently was 
libpcap0.7 0.7.1-1 -> 0.7.2-1 on Mon Jun  9 18:41:57 2003
and I can't tell for sure if the problem was present between 9 and 12 Jun.
