Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] DHCP option 43 dissection broken in SVN

DHCP option 43 dissection (at least for CableLabs clients) doesn't work correctly in current SVN. It probably got broken by some of the various changes (all by Guy, so the blamelist is short ;-)) after Revision 12338 (which is the version that still works fine for me). packet-bootp.c now ignores the TLV nature of the suboptions and uses a wrong offset (off by 2): it displays type and length as values and leaves out the last two bytes of the value.

I can send sample captures off-list.
