Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] WARNING **: Too many taps queued

You would be correct, it's a loop over a tapping point.  Logged bug 7845 and CCed the original author just because the specs aren't free.  Probably a trivial fix though.

Your fuzz probably triggered a loop over a tapping point. There can be 
TAP_PACKET_QUEUE_LEN (=100) taps be pushed per packet.

You should grab that fuzz and investigate the loop.
