i've got a program where i'm trying to use libpcap in a posix thread and
the thread is failing to get any data back.  i've tried writing a sample
program which was non-threaded and then simply linking with -pthread and
linking that way seems to interfere with bpf/libpcap.  i'm running on
4.3-STABLE and tried it on a build which was a few months old, and just
tried again with a cvsup from a few hours ago (Jul 5 2001 22:00:00 or
so).

is there a known incompatibility between bpf/libpcap and pthreads?  anyone
have any notions of what is going wrong here?  (is it possible that bpf is
having problems waking up the thread waiting on i/o?)

i'm probably going to try putting some debugging output into the kernel,
but don't know how far i'll be able to get in tracking this down...
