Ack! You're right. I had posted a patch for the bug in packet-ripng.c, but
for some reason never checked it into CVS. I'll go ahead and check that in.

Once I found the bug in the SMB dissector, instead of patching it I decided
to re-design the way Ethereal reads frame data. We have to modify
every protocol dissector in Ethereal, but it will be well worth the effort.
