I'm not sure if I have time for writting such patch, but If anyone write one,
I can review.

Attaching patch for testing, still I have one XXX, to quote:

+  if (cf->count < frames_count && framenum <= cf->count) {
+    /* XXX, what we should do when new frames were received during rescaning but user clicked abort?
+     *   - call packet_list_append() for all new frames?
+     *   - just warn user?
+     */
+  }

Just looking at this for the first time, but shouldn't the first part
of the conditional be "cf->count > frames_count"? cf->count would be
the one that gets incremented on new frames, so there should never be
a case where it's less than frames_count, only greater or equal.

To answer the actual question though - I don't think we should do
anything. Existing frames that we haven't processed yet are simply not
displayed when the user hits abort, so I think it's perfectly sane for
us to not display any new frames in that case either.
