What does

	ethereal -h

print?

I was able to reproduce the problem when Ethereal was linked with
libpcap 0.6.2, but not when it was linked with 0.7.1 (and the version I
tried earlier was with WinPcap 2.3, which is based on libpcap 0.6.2).

In fact, this is a bug in libpcap 0.6.2, fixed in 0.7[.x].  The checkin
comment for the fix was:

	Reset the VLAN flags when compiling a new expression.
	This allows correct compilation of multiple expressions
	 containing the "vlan" keyword in the same program.
