This is really more of a wireshark-users than a wireshark-dev question  
- but it's really a libpcap question, as the recvfrom() getting EFAULT  
is in libpcap, not Wireshark (Wireshark relies on libpcap/WinPcap for  
packet capture).

Does it happen if you capture with tcpdump?

What do "dumpcap -v" and "tcpdump -h" print?
