Re: libpcap 0.9.4 on HP-UX: "Device busy"

It would be more accurate to say that it allows only one promiscuous
mode stream per interface.

And that's exactly what the problem was - I was inadvertently calling
pcap_open_live twice on the same interface. It didn't occur to me to
even look for that, as I was under the impression that the DLPI
restriction on HP-UX only concerned more than one process opening a
promiscuous mode stream (not a single process opening two promiscuous
mode streams).

Easy fix - thanks for your help.
