Package: tcpdump
Version: 4.0.0-3
Severity: normal
On some condition it is possible that tcpdump does not notice the captured
interface going down (my suspicion is that if a new interface of the same
name is created immediately), and then goes into an endless loop around
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLERR}])
Apparently, this error condition is not properly handled.
