#2 pseudo device "any" causes sigfault

[Anonymous]

Debian bug report, 527245, references the case where choosing the pseudo device "any" causes a sigfault.

I have done some initial debugging and it looks like it is an issue with
the pseudo interface 'any' and the filter_app:

char filter_app[] = "ether host 01:00:0c:cc:cc:cc and ether[20:2] =
0x2000";

Which if you run tcpdump you see a bit more detailed error:

# tcpdump -i any 'ether host 01:00:0c:cc:cc:cc and ether[20:2] = 0x2000'
tcpdump: ethernet addresses supported only on ethernet/FDDI/token
ring/802.11/ATM LANE/Fibre Channel

The problem isn't actually the filter, it's because I'm setting the interface to promiscuous mode. I'll look at taking any out of the list.
