Please load the attached capture in Wireshark - it represents one TCP session
carrying SSL. You'll see that starting with packet 123, all packets from the
server to the client are marked by the GUI as "TLSv1 Ignored unknown record".
The reason for that is because the SSL dissector does not treat correctly the
TCP zero window probe packet that the server sent before that - packet 119. If
you remove packet 119 from the capture and load it again, everything will look
ok with the payload of the packets that were marked before as ignored unknown
records.

I found this problem in version 1.4.6, then I upgraded to the latest 1.6.0 and
because the problem still existed, I decided to report it. Yes, there is a
simple workaround for this issue but it is kinda annoying to have to edit the
entire capture to get rid of all zero window packets in it in order to be sure
that the SSL dissector will run correctly on it.
