Log:
Use the "errmsg_len" argument to "capture_loop_open_output()" -
"sizeof(errmsg)', when "errmsg" is a "char *", doesn't give the size of
the string to which "errmsg" points, it gives the size of the pointer
itself, which is too small.

Ooops, I've doesn't catched that ones, but I've already replaced all the other appearances - thanks.
I'm currently still working on clarifying the capture engine even a bit more, as some of the capture related functions are rather long and therefore not well understandable.
I'll plan to continue this work, and going to think about the privilege seperation of the capturing engine which is discussed a bit in the wiki (http://wiki.ethereal.com/Development_2fPrivilegeSeparation).
