Captures containing WSP packets whose "Headers Length" field is shown correctly
and incorrectly.

The problem appears on both 1.0.4 windows build as well as linux, tshark, 1.0.5
build.

In attached capture, incorrect.cap, packet 2 contains the WSP reply.
In that reply inside the WSP is the field "Headers Length". The length is coded
with 2 bytes, 81 and 21 successively.
Summing hex 81 and 21 makes 162 (decimal) while wireshark shows 161.
The headers are 160 bytes long and 2 bytes of the "Headers Length" field makes
it to be 162 bytes.

The packet is charged with another system which analysis the WSP messages and
is charged correctly taking in acount that the "Headers Length" is 162 bytes
and not 161 as wireshark shows.

Another capture, correct.cap, contains another WSP packets which show the
"Headers Length" correctly but that header length is coded with 1 byte. This
capture is attached only for comparison reasons.
