SIP headers typically have the form

  field-name: field-value

According to RFC 3261, whitespace is allowed on either side of
the colon, but is optional.  Some clients therefore omit all
separating whitespace:

  field-name:field-value

In Ethereal 0.9.11, the first character after the colon is discarded
and the last line is displayed as

  field-name: ield-value

System info:

  Linux i686 2.4.20 (Slackware 9.0 and RedHat 7.1)
  ethereal 0.9.11, with GTK+ 1.2.10, with GLib 1.2.10, with
    libpcap 0.7.2, with libz 1.1.4, without UCD-SNMP or
    Net-SNMP, running on Linux 2.4.20
