This bites libpcap because when it attempts to read off the end of the real end of the interfaces it finds an interface with an empty name and fails to retrieve the flags for the interface, terminating the interface finding procedure. The fix I commited to our internal licpcap is to 'break' out of the loop if we find an interface with a null name, does anyone object to this approach for the mainline?
"Null" presumably meaning either an empty name? That's unlikely to appear in a valid list, so that's probably OK. There should probably be a big "XXX - Linux's support for IA-32 binaries is broken in the following fashion..." comment for it. (Presumably this bug has been reported to the appropriate kernel folks, right?) - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
