That's a BPF problem, not a libpcap problem; see PR kern/22063 "bpf when used with the select system call with timeout doesn't forward packets on timeout", which includes a patch (although it's uuencoded and, at least when you view that PR over the Web, the uuencoded text doesn't appear to be valid).
