I review the trace using the cvs version of ethereal and the ninth
packet is decoded as TELNET. 

What version are you running?

Subject: [Ethereal-dev] bug in socks - displays version '255' in the
first SOCKS tunnelled Telnet


It seems that the SOCKS parser is parsing the first byte of the telnet 
connection, which by chance is 0xFF (a telnet option), and thinks its 
the version number of SOCKS...
Please see attached dump, packet 9.
