 The initial Arp queries to build the host list failed causing this error.

 "FATAL: ARP poisoning needs a non empty hosts list."

 The PCAP_TIMEOUT for MACOSX used in pcap_open_live() is a bit short (10
 ms). I'm not sure why there wasn't a more generous value used.

 I bumped it up to 1000 ms and all is well.

 Some users may not have had a problem before. I did on two different
 macbook pros.
