I've tested that this "not showing last packets" behavior started somewhere
between ethereal version 0.10.13-1.1 and wireshark 0.99.2-1 (debian etch
version numbers). According to your explanation, it sounds to me as if this
behavior change is explained by ethereal/wireshark changing to use dumpcap in a
revision between these two versions. Is that right?
Is it easy to revert back to the "old" behavior? I consider this new behavior
much worse than loosing packets at high load which is likely to happen anyway.
Wouldn't most folks agree?

Presumably this bug was introduced somewhere between rev. 16130 and 18754, but
I don't know which...
