I have just upgraded to .10a from .9.16. Upgraded due to mostly the time
differential of loading files. I have experienced lockups since the removal
of .9.16 and the install of .10a.

I have the following selected for Capture Options...
Capture packets in promiscuous mode
Update list of packets in real time
Automatic scrolling in live capture
Enable MAC name resolution
Enable network name resolution
Enable transport name resolution

Once I hit OK, it starts capturing data and then within an unspecified time,
it stops updating in the main screen. But - the data collection screen keeps
saying it is collecting data (it keeps incrementing). I click on stop and
nothing happens. The display for the main window hangs. Must kill app.

This also happens when capturing via a file. The file keeps incrementing.
But when stopped, it hangs and does not show (load) the last file. I must
kill app and reload and then view last file.

I must kill the application in both above instances.

Also on another note...in the older version, I was able to have a file
capture and display at the same time. In new version, only one can be
selected. Is there a reason? :-(
Thanks for your help in advance...
