Success! Looks like MACOSX still doesn't do pcap descriptors well (or at all). Initial fix to get things working is to not use the select(pcap_descriptor) call.
Great news! Thanks for verifying this and reporting to the list. Also thanks to all who submitted the bug report. It looks as though the best way to fix this would be, as mentioned, to use the older pcap polling code and disable the selectable fd code for MacOS. Remember that there are actually 2 places this needs to be done in the file. (One for the ARP handling code and the other for the IP handling code). Best, Doug
