Another update: I again downloaded the latest GeoIP databases and updated to
SVN 39292, which includes Gerald's recent changes to support GeoIP IPv6
database support in r39280 and following.  My observances:

1) Sorting Lat & Long produces unexpected results with respect to when the Lat
and/or Long is unknown.  The entry contains a "-", and so they show up in
between the negative values and positive values.  I would think a better sort
would be to have them show up first/last before/after those with actual values.

2) For many cities, all non-US cities, but necessarily all non-US cities, the
City column is appended with a numeric, e.g., "Moscow, 48".

3) The non-UTF8 characters are still not displayed properly.

4) With no databases present, there are still Latitude & Longitude columns, but
no Country or City.  Should there even be Latitude & Longitude columns?

5) With only GeoIP.dat and GeoLiteCity.dat, the 4 columns: Country, City,
Latitude and Longitude are displayed as expected.

6) With only GeoIPv6.dat and GeoLiteCityv6.dat, the 4 columns: Country, Unknown
database, Latitude and Longitude are displayed.

7) With all 4 databases present, there are 6 columns: 2 Country columns, a City
column, an Unknown database column, Latitude and Longitude columns.

I have yet to find a pcap file (in the menagerie or elsewhere) that displays
any IPv6-related GeoIP information.
