I am running ethereal from the rawhide rpm for Linux (Redhat 7.3). 
ethereal-0.9.5-3

When I try to capture packets in real time, nothing appears in the captured 
packets window. If I then stop the capture and reload, the packets show up. 

I finally tracked this problem down to a problem with the version of glibc 
that I was running. 

I had installed: 
glibc-2.2.90-17.i686.rpm
glibc-common-2.2.90-17.i386.rpm

I upgraded to (from the rawhide ftp site): 
glibc-2.2.90-26.i686.rpm
glibc-common-2.2.90-26.i386.rpm

After this upgrade, the real-time capture started working again.
