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?
Well, I've done several changes to the capture engine in the 0.10.11 release.
As far as I remember, the interfaces are only opened if that interfaces dialog itself is opened.
So if it should really be the cause of that problem, it should only happen if that dialog is open.
