V1.6.9, Capture/Options, select an rpcap source under "Interface", get a dialog
with the following error:

The capabilities of the capture device "rpcap://[**********].com/eth0" could
not be obtained (Unknown error (pcap bug; actual error cause not reported)).
Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that
you have the proper interface or pipe specified.

After acknowleding the error, everything works.

Error only occurs under capture/options.  Stoping and restarting capture does
not cause the error to appear.

Not sure if this is the same underlying cause as the previous errors in this
bug or not.

1.8.1 does not exhibit this behavior.
