Well, it's not my patch, it was posted by Guy Harris on this list, and
from what you say, I don't think it would help you. In my case, BU
packets were recognized, so the problem is open. You should post a
binary capture file that reproduces the problem (but only with the
relevant packets, so it is small) to the ethereal-dev list, maybe
someone is able to help you.
