 Is there some reason why tcptrace isn't just using pcap_loop() or =
 pcap_dispatch() or some libpcap API, rather than an internal routine =
 that tcpdump.org does *not* guarantee will continue to exist and does =
 *not* guarantee that it won't have its name changed?
 
 (The name was changed because somebody complained - in a message to me =
 on LinkedIn - about find_dev() being exported from the static libpcap; =
 to fix that, we renamed *all* internal routines with a pcapint_ prefix =
 to try to avoid conflicts.)=
