Try doing, in order, as root:
dumpcap -i eth0 -w /dev/null
dumpcap -i vmnet1 -w /dev/null
dumpcap -i vmnet8 -w /dev/null
dumpcap -i any -w /dev/null
dumpcap -i lo -w /dev/null
If any of them lock the machine up, reboot and continue with the next one (if
there is one). Indicate which, if any, caused the machine to lock up.
Also, do, as root:
strace tcpdump -D
strace dumpcap -D
The latter will probably hang; the best way to do this would probably be to log
into the machine in question remotely from a machine running a window system
and configure the terminal emulator you're running on that machine to save a
lot of history. Then you can copy and paste the screen history into the bug.
