I am getting the following message from both WinDump and WireShark.  This
appears to be a WinPcap problem.  I am running Windows XP SP2.  WireShark
was running fine about 2 weeks ago, now I'm seeing this error message the
_second_ (and successive) time I perform a capture.  The first time I run
the capture everything works fine.
 
C:\>windump -D
windump: PacketGetAdapterNames: The data area passed to a system call is too
small. (122)
 
C:\>windump -V
windump version 3.9.5, based on tcpdump version 3.9.5
WinPcap version 4.0.1 (packet.dll version 4.0.0.901), based on libpcap
version 0.9.5

Suggestions for how to diagnose this problem?
 
Greg
