Starting a capture on eth0 will eventually (not really predictable) result in
the following errors being printed to the console and the capture stalling:


12:42:16          Warn Error "Less data was read than was expected" while
reading: "/tmp/wiresharkXXXXr1QTlH"

12:42:17          Warn Error "File contains a record that's not valid" while
reading: "/tmp/wiresharkXXXXr1QTlH"

12:42:19          Warn Error "File contains a record that's not valid" while
reading: "/tmp/wiresharkXXXXr1QTlH"

12:42:20          Warn Error "File contains a record that's not valid" while

12:42:20          Warn Error "File contains a record that's not valid" while
reading: "/tmp/wiresharkXXXXr1QTlH"


Adding --without-zlib to the configure run causes the problem to go away.
