What happens if you download tcpdump from tcpdump.org, compile it, and
run it?  (Make sure it's linked with the same version of libpcap that
Ethereal is - and don't use the tcpdump that comes with AIX.)

If you get "recv_ack: bind error 0x1", then this is a problem with
libpcap; send mail to "tcpdump-workers@xxxxxxxxxxx".
