Comment # 4 on bug 12882 from
At least part of the problem is that the *second* packet looks "enough like" a
TDS packet, so it marks the entire TCP connection as carrying TDS - but it
doesn't say "the stuff before this doesn't look like TDS, so if it really *is*
TDS, it's probably the middle and end of a TDS packet, so don't try to dissect
it", or something such as that.  That's the problem with byte-stream protocols
such as TCP.
