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

In the attached pcap file there's a single Parameter Problem ICMP packet.
The Length of original datagram is 14*4=56.
According to RFC 4884, the ICMP payload should contain "Internet Header +
leading octets of original datagram".
The Internet Header is the IPv4 header.
The leading octets of original datagram size should be 56 according to the
Length field.
However, Wireshark treats as if 56 is the total number of cotets in the IPv4 -
both Internet Header and original datagram.
