Just looking at this for the first time, but shouldn't the first part
of the conditional be "cf->count > frames_count"?

Yes, thanks.

To answer the actual question though - I don't think we should do
anything. Existing frames that we haven't processed yet are simply not
displayed when the user hits abort, so I think it's perfectly sane for
us to not display any new frames in that case either.

But if we don't call packet_list_append() on them, these packets won't
show up on packet list, even if user refilter again and this time he/she
won't abort the process.
