"tshark: Can't install filter (recv_ack: promisc_sap: UNIX error - Not owner).
Please report this to the Wireshark developers.
(This is not a crash; please do not report it as such.)"

means, in effect, "you can't capture if you're not running as root", at least
on your version of HP-UX.  promisc_sap refers SAP promiscuity, i.e. receiving
all packets regardless of the Ethernet type/DSAP and LSAP in 802.2/SNAP type,
not to physical promiscuity, i.e. receiving all packets even if they're unicast
packets not sent to your adapter's MAC address, so -p makes no difference for
that error.  (I'll look at making libpcap report that better.)

I'm not sure why the ASN.1 plugin is failing to find g_node_insert_before().
