Here's a patch, to be applied on top of either

	1) the result of applying your patch plus my first patch

or

	2) the result of applying my merged version of those two patches

to the current CVS tree; it changes the hex printing code to handle all
the data sources.  It works OK with one data source, which is all
Ethereal currently creates.
