Bug#508432: minimum testcase

Hi, after working on this bug for a while, I was able to distill a
minimum code that triggers the segfault. The callback routine invoked
from pcap_loop needs to set a signal handler that it's used during the
callback.

In the fwknopd code, this happens when calling iptables, which triggers
a SIGCHLD on exit, but can happen with any signal.

The following backtrace makes me doubt if this is a Net::Pcap or a perl
problem. Maybe somebody in the list can shed some light? (Hello Niko :))
