This is another "reading beyond the end of a packet" bug, this time
in line 8833 of packet-smb.c.
Sigh. I've become sufficiently annoyed that I'm going to drop my
current work on the display filter engine and implement our smart/testy
buffer with "exceptions" in C. I hate the fact that the good name of
Ethereal gets tarnished when reading short packets.
I guess most Open Source software happens when one gets "sufficiently annoyed".
