Does this happen with the current top-of-tree libpcap (regardless of the version of tcpdump with which it was linked; 
tcpdump and libpcap are released together, but tcpdump is supposed to be able to run with versions of libpcap other 
than the one released with it)?  The trunk and the 1.2 branch have some ring buffer changes to fix some problems such 
as that.-
