Ok, a clarification is required. 0.10.12 not working on HP-UX is not
entirely correct:
  1. Running 0.10.12 with libpcap-0.8.3, Capture->Interfaces then
     click on "Capture", I get the recv_ack error above.
  2. Running 0.10.12 with libpcap-0.8.3, Capture->Options then
     click on "Start", everything works.
  3. Running 0.10.12 with libpcap-0.8.3, Capture->Interfaces then
     click on "Capture", I get the recv_ack error above. Then,
     Capture->Options and click on "Start. I get the error above.

Running 0.10.12 with libpcap-0.9.3 is totaly useless as it lists *NO*
interfaces.

The above is on HP-UX 11.11.
