Hello,

Attached is a patch to improve dissection of the AIM signon-reply, the request-user-info, and the start of the user-info reply.

I know the buddy name display in the patch is duplicated from the get_buddyname() function.  This was intentional.  The display of the buddy name looks like a hack in its current mode (displays arbitrary packet offsets independent of packet content).  When I get the dissector reworked, this should be cleaned up significantly. 

It looks like this dissector has not had any updates in over two years, aside from changes in external APIs.  I'm going to restructure it to break each message type into separate functions over the next few weeks (as well as add an abstract TLV dissector).  So if anyone has any objection, please speak up.

Thanks,
