NS Trace (NetScaler Trace) file format is not able to export specified packets

Steps to reproduce:
1) open NetScaler packet capture file from wireshark GUI [nstrace_original]
2) apply some display filter (e.g. frame.number <= 5)
3) GoTo : File->Export Specified Packets... and save file
4) open newly created file [nstarce_export.cap]

result:
1) file size is always 42 bytes:
    23-02-2015  15:36                42 nstrace_export.cap
               1 File(s)             42 bytes

2) there are no packets in final captured file (only signature information is
present)

Root cause:

file : wiretap\netscaler.c
in funciton "nstrace_dump" the capture length (phdr->caplen) of incoming
records is always zero and as a result "wtap_dump_file_write()" is not writing
any thing to the output file.

Fix:
nstrace_seek_read_v30 : setting capturelen and len of phdr in seek read
function

Fixed output file attached [nstrace_export_fixed.cap]
