Sorry for the long delay, I've been kind of busy. I finally had a
chance to play with this yesterday.
I was able to do a capture with Ethereal 0.8.17 running on NT.
HOWEVER, closer inspection revealed that this should probably not be
deemed as "working". Lots of strange things happened (for example I
couldn't establish new TCP connections) until I stopped the capture.
0.8.18 and 0.8.19 simply failed to work at all.
