Hi List,

In testing wirshark version 1.6.12 and 1.6.13, we found that following
bugs exist not only in 1.8.x but also in version 1.6.x. The fixes are
only in 1.8.4, not appeared in 1.6.12 nor 1.6.13, which causes latest
1.6 version still has problem. Could you have a check?

It looks like you're right; I scheduled both fixes to be back-ported to 1.6.14.
