The declaration's wrong.  ;-)

The CreateThread documentation says that your thread proc's signature
needs to be:

DWORD CALLBACK whatever(LPVOID lp)

while yours is:

DWORD WINAPI whatever(LPVOID lp)

(You're using the wrong calling convention.  But at least you're not
returning void!)

Also, depending on your compiler, it may be necessary to add an & before
your do_pktcapt_loop in the CreateThread call.  I don't think so (try
changing WINAPI to CALLBACK first), but it's possible.
