What sets errno to EINVAL here? And what actually causes the program to
exit with code 22?
There aren't any library calls prior to this point, right? Or is this
... libpcap has some initcall that runs quietly in the background before
main starts, so we enter main with errno==EINVAL, which then causes ...
something else to break?
