It would be cool/handy if future versions of ethereal have "SOCKS protocol
version 5" support.
The file "epan/dissectors/packet-socks.c" in the ethereal source has the comment at the beginning 

/* packet-socks.c
 * Routines for socks versions 4 &5  packet dissection
 * Copyright 2000, Jeffrey C. Foster <jfoste@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

	...

 * The Version 4 decode is based on SOCKS4.protocol and SOCKS4A.protocol.
 * The Version 5 decoder is based upon rfc-1928
 * The Version 5 User/Password authentication is based on rfc-1929.
Presumably you've tried to use Ethereal to dissect SOCKS v5 traffic, without success; could you send us one of those captures, so we can try debugging the problem?
