Hello!

One of my colleagues just pointed me to a small FTP-Data dissection problem:
In dissect_ftpdata() we have the code line

  col_add_fstr(pinfo->cinfo, COL_INFO, "FTP Data: %u bytes", tvb_length(tvb));

So we print in the packet summary line, how many of the bytes we captured
(which may be much lower than the actual packet length) are left for FTP-Data
and don't mention truncation at all! I think here should stay something like
the length in this TCP segment.

Bye, Uwe
