I've been working with Net::Pcap 0.16 on Debian sid, which means:
libpcap0.8                               0.9.8-5
perl           5.10.0-19

I wouldn't surprise me if changes in the versions of any of these
would produce different results.

Yes, sorry, see my other patch I've sent to the bug report.This was
reversed and incorrect. The workaround was just to use a minimum
callback that saves the values and then call the other routines (which
trigger a SIGCHLD) outside of the callback..
