There's another way of handling that - if we read an offset value that's
less that what we think it should be, assume the problem is that we
mistakenly treated some stuff in the text dump of the packet data as if
it were hex bytes from the packet.

I've checked that in, along with a fix to the previous bug I mentioned.
