Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Odd delay in capture

I am running the 0.99.4 build of Wireshark on FC6.

I have selected capture of port 80, with update list in real-time, automatic scrolling, and hide capture window.

When I initiate a tcp connection to port 80 from my machine, the outbound request is displayed but the response is not. I wait 5 seconds and hit "stop" and the response packet is subsequently displayed with a timestamp of 0.000179.

I've never seen that before. Usually the packets are immediately displayed. Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a fix? I browsed back through the November posts, but didn't see anything.
