I've checked in a change to initialize errbuf to an empty string and report an
"Unknown error", with a parenthetical note indicating that this is a pcap bug,
if it's empty after pcap_open() or pcap_open_live() fails.

That should fix this problem (and allow us to handle the case where those calls
*succeed* but fill in errbuf with a warning, if we choose to do so).

The fix should show up in a future trunk build; I'll schedule it for the 1.4
and 1.6 branches.
