I'm not entirely sure which versions this applies to as I've only tried it on
XP with 0.99.6a but I suspect it applies at least to all equal and lower
versions on all platforms.

When the DHCP overload flag is set options are parsed from the bootp file and
sname fields however wireshark doesn't recognise this fact and just attempts to
display the binary data as a string as if it were a filename/server name.

Possibly an enhancement, I wasn't entirely sure.
