Segmentation fault while using pcap

[Jorge Lanza <jlanza () tlmat unican es>]

Hi all.
I'm developing using libpcap to make my own sniffing program that adquires 
some statistics.
Well... everything has worked ok, but as the program increase in size I 
came up with a Segmentation Fault error.
I think the problem is in the Callback function, cause it's maybe too big 
and the buffer overflows as the function cannot dispatch all the packets.
I say so, cause when I put some extra code there the program crashes. The 
error is not in the extra code, I have already tested.

Then my question is: how big should be the callback function? I think it 
should be the smallest possible, but then.. how I extract the information 
from the packet? Should I copy the packet and extract the infor using 
another thread????????

TA.
