--
Instead of a list of capture interfaces, Qt based Wireshark on startup will
occasionally display the following message:

> Error from waitpid(): Interrupted system call

Workaround: Exiting and immediately restarting Qt Wireshark will usually list
the expected capture interfaces.

The "Error from waitpid()" message appears maybe once for every 20 to 30 times
Qt Wireshark is started.  More rarely the error message will be displayed for
several consecutive Qt Wireshark startups.

Attached pic shows Qt Wireshark startup window with the error message and the
subsequent Qt Wireshark startup window without the error message.
