	Hi!

I have a raw TCP socket connection between two systems. Connection is
used to transfer text data. One system opens the connection and
sends a request, after which it closes the sending stream (only) and
begins to wait for reply.

The the other system reads the request, and then send the reply and
finally closes the whole stream (well, the half that's left of it).

The problem is, that when I use 'Follow TCP Stream' -feature, only
the request is shown. "Entire conversation" shows only send data, and
when selecting to show only the reply direction, nothing is shown.
Now I think it would be logical to conclude this has something to do
with the stream being half-closed in the middle.

Any ideas/fixes?
