Complete system lockup happens to me on a Dell M1530 with an Intel 3945 wireless card running 8.0.4 with a recently installed wireshark:

Don't know why the original bug report is at a higher level (wireshark 1.0.2-1)

The root problem is in dumpcap. Running it without going into promisc mode works fine.
