One workaround for this is to #define MUST_DO_SELECT, so that
capture_loop_dispatch uses a select() to wait for packets to turn up,

It's likely to be quite non-portable, given that
1) select() on Windows can't be used in that fashion
and
2) select() on at least some BSD-derived OSes doesn't work on BPF devices.
Anyone got any better ideas?
I'm not sure the display update rate limiting belongs in dumpcap; it
might be better to do it in Wireshark. I.e., have dumpcap send packet
count updates immediately to Wireshark, and have Wireshark decide when
to read the new packets.
