Yesterday I compiled version 0.8.3. The same result: No package loss,
but the main window freezes. After pressing the Stop capture button and
some 10-20 seconds later it's up again. 

I obtained an strace log but it is rather large. For six ping calls it
is about 250 kB. What do I have to look for in these files?
