Discovered while working on Pcap.Net (http://pcapdot.net).

In the attached pcap file there's a single DNS packet with an OPT RR as the
third additional RRs.
This RR's 7th option is a Client Subnet option.
Even though this option length is written to be 53 bytes and the option's data
is indeed read until 0x0213, the next option isn't being read from 0x0214, but
from 0x01F3.
This is probably related to the fact that Client Subnet address length is
assumed to be no longer than 16 bytes, but since Wireshark reads the option
data correctly, it doesn't make sense to read the next option from a location
that is within the current option's data.
