What sort of misbehavior did you see with 1.3.0?

By running "make check" in the top-level source directory for tcpdump.

They do *not* test the capture mechanism, so they do not involve any

dissection of captured packets, by running tcpdump against a savefile and 
comparing the results with a text file giving the expected results.
