--- Comment #1 from Guy Harris <guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>  2008-05-04 13:43:30 GMT ---
<MISSING>, for a "sequence of bytes" field such as the source address in a
Linux cooked capture (when it's not 6 octets long; in that case, it's assumed
to be a MAC address), means that the field is zero bytes long, so there aren't
any bytes to highlight.

Perhaps the cooked-capture dissector should omit the source address field if it
has a zero length.
