...which means that the packet appears to have a control type other than
the ones Ethereal knows about; we'd have to see the packet - or, at
least, the detailed decoding, e.g. what you'd get by printing the packet
to a file - to see what the control type value is.

RFC 2637 "Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)" lists only types 1
through 15, and the Ethereal dissector recognizes all of them; either
your capture contains a control message of a type not specified by RFC
2637, or the Ethereal dissector has a bug in it.
