Re: master branch of Wireshark/tshark hangs

[Remy Leone <remy.leone () inria fr>]

I'm not sure about where to start investigating this issue. Where does the
critical operation happen when wireshark/tshark is sniffing? I suppose that
this is a problem of blocking read/write that is not happening properly but
I'm not sure about how to get started to investigate this.
