upon reflection and discussions with others,
I believe the proper handling of isakmpd payloads
would be to stop parsing when the next payload
is given as 0 "payload type NONE", and present
the extra data as extra padding bytes.

I still believe the patch I submitted should
be left in, to protect against malformed
packets causing ethereal to go into infinite
loops.
