unreported drops on dlpi

Hi all,

I've submitted a bug concerning these drops in sourceforge.net; I don't want to send my patch code because it's too 
ugly.
Please let me know if anyone is aware of this problem.
Additionally, I think there's a point in allowing the user to set a capture parameter of "kernel buffer size", as in 
WinPcap; in the pcap-dlpi.c it should be the SBIOCSCHUNK flag, in pcap-snoop.c it should be setsockopt() of SO_RCVBUF.

I forgot to mention in the bug report I worked on a sun station, 5.2 and 5.6 both had the drops problem.

Questions/remarks are welcome.
