Calling pcap_compile() more than once on the same pcap_t *

Folks,

Is it possible to call pcap_compile() more than once on the same libpcap
descriptor (pcap_t *)?

What I'm trying to do is caputuring some packets with a specific libpcap
filter, and then reuse the same descriptor to capture packets with a
*different* libpcap filter.

(FWIW, in one of the calls to pcap_compile() I'm getting "snaplen of 0
rejects all packets"...)

Thanks!

Best regards,
