Hi !!!

I build Redhat RPM for ethereal for some time now and have the same
behaviour.

I modified the gerald patch to build a new libpcap from RH 6.1 SRPMS
(tcpdump)
I've allways have a lock when there is no data matching a rule.

I'm investigating now.

I noticed that in modified pcap-linux.c, when there is no data we just 
return(0) and didn't use the callback functions :

(*callback)(user, &h1, bp).

May be something like this ?
