Hi,

> If I use WinPcap to read this packet, I get 9 bytes (the first byte is 0x00).

First byte is libpcap_ppp_phdr direction, and the problem is that libwiretap
don't treat pseudo headers as packet data.

Still, this information is used to display:
 [Direction DCE->DTE (1)]

Well, it's no longer '0' and '1' is just internal wireshark number
(P2P_DIR_RECV), which probably should be not displayed.
