--
Running tshark from buildbot 2.1.0-2133-g070fc33.

When tshark is started with no arguments in OS X terminal, instead of starting
a capture on the en0 interface, randpktdump is loaded.  Entering CTRL-C to
terminate tshark triggers an Abort Trap: 6.

When tshark is started with no argument it reports "Invalid option 1: --type "
and then appears to stall.  Entering CTRL-C (^C) to initiate tshark to exit
results is several additional messages ultimately resulting in the "Abort Trap:
6" message.

Workaround: Explicitly enter an interface (tshark -i en0).
