Hi folks,

I'm doing a lot of live capturing these days (quite unusual for me).
I have a (customized) 1.8.2 build on Linux and I've been noticing that
while doing a live capture with a display filter I can see the packet
list "jitter" sometimes (scroll down like there are more packets and
then scroll back up) and indeed sometimes I have caught the packet
list showing me packets that should not pass the dfilter only to have
them disappear again off the packet list a few hundred msec later.

Anyone else ever noticed that or have any ideas about it?

I'm in no position to track it down at the moment; at the very least
hopefully this email will remind me about it later...

Regards,
-Jeff

ps. this may be somewhat of an unfair test because my X connection to
the GUI isn't the fastest so that may make the delays more
perceptible.
