Wireshark doesn't show the TCP window size for SYN packets in the decode pane,
while it is still shown in the info column of the packet list. The window size
is shown in all further packets; just the SYN packet has no decode for that
value while it is also visible in the hex code.

I checked this behaviour using 32bit and 64bit versions of Wireshark 1.4, and
tested also tshark and if the window scaling option has anything to do with it,
but the window size is always missing in SYN packets. Checked my test trace
against 1.2.9 stable, and the window size is decoded just fine.
