Excellent.

Possibly a minor problem, but it's really just cosmetic, and certainly a less
severe issue than the bad decoding you were seeing. It's another manifestation
of the underlying problem that the packet summary pane (the top pane in the
default layout) can't handle multiple payloads in a single packet. They'll be
dissected properly and show up in the tree (the middle pane) properly, but they
won't get summarized correctly because the two payloads will both try to write
to the same row in the summary.
