Note that there are other platforms where the underlying packet capture
mechanism doesn't have a time out - and at least one other platform,
namely Solaris, where the timer doesn't start until the first packet
arrives.
I.e., any code that depends on the timer preventing a read on a pcap_t
from taking more than the specified amount of time is depending on
something that libpcap does not and will not guarantee (and the libpcap
man page explicitly indicates this). Does your code depend on that?
