Some updates on this.
When running in QT, 2 dumcaps are created, one for stats and one for capture. When capturing on nflog, the child process require the parent to be dead (its fd are released). I tried to implement a solution that, in case the interface starts with "nf", tries again up to 10 times. It works on my machine. I noticed that the first try fails, while the second succeds.
You can find the change here


Comments welcome.

Kill statistics before starting the capture? Sounds fine to me, though I
am not sure whether it has other side-effects. The Capture -> Options
dialog is another place where these stats are visible.

What about filing a bug? Do you think it would be useful? Or is there anyone taking care of it?
