With this patch I get a segmentation fault when launching Wireshark on my
Debian Lenny box.
The following cast

GString *firstl = (GString *)pf;

give me a structure where pf->str is invalid, leading to a crash when doing:

if (strncmp(firstl->str, " Configuration file for ", 24) == 0) {

If I understood properly, the purpose here is to read the first line of the
file. Why not use fgets? Did I miss something?
