Description of problem: When opening certain capture files, wireshark hangs forever in an endless loop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wireshark-1.6.8-1.fc16.x8664

I compiled wireshark 1.8.2 from source and did not see this problem any more.

How reproducible: always

Steps to Reproduce: 1. open capture file with wireshark Actual results: hangs after reading ~25% of the data

Expected results: opens file successfully

The code hangs in this loop:

tvbgetntohs() in line 696 returns 0, thus the "offset" variable never advances.
