Comment # 2 on bug 9376 from
Reproducible with a (relatively) recent trunk build on OS X 10.8.5.

which means this is a libpcap bug, not a *shark bug - not surprisingly, tcpdump
also crashes:

    $ tcpdump -i en0 -f "ether dst 1::2"
    Abort trap: 6 (core dumped)

and it still crashes with top-of-trunk libpcap.  Oh Dear....
