Here is the a capture that make (t)ethereal crashes when it decodes the
"CONNECT TO Port 1080" request from the client using the SOCKS4 protocol.
Also crashes with SOCKS5.

The problem comes from a infinite recursive loop that occurs when the SOCKS
dissector tries to analyze the encapsulated protocol....which is still SOCKS
here... Seems, packet offsets are not well handled thus the analysis still
restarts from the beginning of the packet....
