The Info column for TFTP request packets looks like this:

Read Request, File: blah.txt\000, Transfer type: octet\000,
blksize\000=1024\000, tsize\000=0\000

It should look like this:

Read Request, File: blah.txt, Transfer type: octet, blksize=1024, tsize=0

Justification: it is more legible and not ambiguous because all those strings
are always NUL-terminated and can't contain other NULs.
