tcpdump-3.8.3/libpcap-0.8.3 work ok on 11.11, 11.00, and 10.20 though.
Just a fluke or is it not exercising the code-path with the problem?

BTW, I just tested 0.10.9 and 0.10.10 and they worked fine with
libpcap-0.8.3. Seems problems started with 0.10.11. Still think it's a
libpcap problem?
Yes; the fact that you're getting an error from libpcap ("recv_ack" errors are libpcap errors) means it's a libpcap problem in at least some sense.
The issue is with having multiple devices open at once (in the same or other processes); if a given SAP was busy when libpcap tried to use it, it'd return an error prior to 0.9.1, but it now tries another SAP in 0.9.1 and later.
0.10.11 might have done something that tried to open multiple interfaces at the same time, or open the same interface more than once, e.g. to display the statistics you get from the "Interfaces" window - Ulf?
