Thanks. I have checked in the patch for the LPD dissector (a dissector
which needs more fixing, BTW). I haven't checked in the control-character
change for follow-tcp-stream yet; I'll put a similar fix in, but probably
with a user-controllable GUI button, since not everyone wants control
characters displayed as caret-character all the time.  For example, I'd
like to be able to toggle back and forth to check to see if the caret
is really part of the tranmission or not.
