Currently, the "conversation" code, which handles the "make everything
in the connection TDS" stuff, doesn't let a dissector specify that
everything *past a certain point* is a particular protocol. When the
packet summary list is constructed, only packets after the packet it
thinks looks like a TDS summary will be displayed as such, although if
you later click on earlier packets they'll be dissected as TDS.
I guess some Lotus Notes packet looked enough like a TDS packet for the
TDS dissector. Ethereal has no dissector for Lotus Notes, so it's not
going to recognize any Notes packets. If you can send us a capture, we
might be able to see why it apparently recognized a Notes packet as a
TDS packet, and might be able to fix it not to do so. (Making it
dissect Lotus Notes would require either a protocol specification for
Notes or a large amount of time and network traffic to reverse-engineer
the protocol - I have neither the time nor the network traffic to do so.)
