Built using gcc 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8).

The title in the TCP sequence graph windows can only be 64 characters long. The
title includes, in order,

TCP Graph %d 
Display name (capture or file name)
Source IP:Port -> Dest IP:Port

If the display name is more than 15 or so characters you end up with the IP
address being truncated, which makes it more difficult to figure out what's
going on.

This seems to affect all 1.0 and 1.2 versions on all platforms.

It would seem that no matter how big you make the title, GTK takes care of
truncating as necessary. Therefore, I propose increasing the current char[64]
to char[256].

A patch against 1.2 is attached. Note that the #define was made twice in the
file for the two separate windows, I moved the definition to the top of the
file.
