This crash does NOT occur with 10.5.
Also, my statement below about different rates displayed when "Update list
of packets in real time" is selected is incorrect.

More data...

The crash seems to occur only when I have "Update list of packets in real time" selected.
Also, in this mode, the displayed rate of packet capture is about an order of magniture larger than when I have not selected "Update list of packets in real time".

On MontaVista 3.0 Linux I consistently get the following crash ONLY when the capture rate is very high, like 1000 packets per seconds.
If I apply some filtering and/or move to another less-busy interface, the crash does not occur and the packet capture continues accumulating way beyond the high-rate run (by looking at the sizes on the /tmp/etherXXX files created).  So it is not the size of the capture, but the rate.  If I run on the busy interface and quickly (like immediately) stop the capture, the crash does not occur.
I have not modified the 0.10.6 code for this test.
