The patch you cite is a fix for https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/issues/333
which causes infinite loops. There's another bug wherein packets aren't seen by apps that set the read timeout to 0 and packets don't come in at a sufficiently high rate, the packets are dropped and the app doesn't see them: https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/issues/335 and the fix for that is https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/commit/ee4085152260466ea845d9e9109a251a39ded93b -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
