I filed a bug in Gentoo:

tshark (net-analyzer/wireshark-1.12.8-r1) saves tcp/ssl raw streams in ascii
file, content unrecoverable 
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=566472 

(and this here is the same, shorter, info)

Pls. find the files necessary to reproduce this (those mentioned explicitly
below) in:

http://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr/foss/cap/cap-150927-TLS-why-js/

http://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr/foss/cap/cap-150927-TLS-why-js/Add-151121/

The problem boils down to a command like this:

tshark -r dump_150927_1848_g0n.pcap -T fields -e data -qz follow,tcp,raw,9 \
    | egrep '[[:print:]]' > dump_150927_1848_g0n_s00009.bin

produces an ascii file from which it the content can not be extracted, in
comparison with perfectly recoverable content from the file that I saved with
the Wireshark, and called it:

dump_150927_1848_g0n_s00009-W.bin

You can find, apart from the main traffic capture, both these
extracted-stream9-files, as are obtainable in my Wireshark on my Gentoo, as
well as the extracted content from the Wireshark-saved stream in the links
given above:

I think this is a bug, so I'm trying to get the wizards of Wiresharks'
attention to this issue ;-) .
