Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/tcpdump-3.9.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libpcap-0.9.3 and
 tcpdump-3.9.3. This fixes an issue where an invalid BGP packet can
 cause tcpdump to go into an infinite loop, effectively disabling network
 monitoring.
 (* Security fix *)
