If we have pcap_breakloop(), at least on UN*X we can stop the capture
with a pcap_breakloop() call - we don't need to call select() before calling pcap_dispatch(). Even if we do need to call select(), we don't need to supply it with a timeout - it's OK if we block indefinitely, as the signal will interrupt select(). That also means we can pass -1 as the count to pcap_dispatch(), as pcap_breakloop() will terminate the loop in pcap_dispatch(). Use sigaction() to catch SIGUSR1, so we can make sure that the signal handler doesn't get reset when the signal is delivered, and that system calls don't restart when we return from the signal handler. svn path=/trunk/; revision=18201
