That sounds reasonable *if*, in fact, refiltering the display *doesn't*
change any taps.

It looks as if "tap_push_tapped_queue()" would get called regardless of
whether the packet passes the filter or not, and the taps have their own
filters, so, unless it's considered a bug, rather than a feature, that
the display filter has no effect on the taps, that sounds like the right
thing to do.
