Have you implemented an xxx_stats routine that returns the correct packet counts?

And when I press the start button, the program, Hangs up.

Perhaps your xxx_read routine is blocked waiting for a 3968-byte buffer full of data to arrive, even though some data has arrived? See my mail to tcpdump-workers on that.
