Hello,

the current version of the LDAP dissector contains a typo in the
msgType array. As a consequence, an LDAP extended response is not
correctly identified. The attached patch fixes this. 

I've noticed that in a capture of an LDAP session protected by TLS. The
Start TLS mechanism for LDAP is described in RFC 2830 and uses LDAP
extended request/response messages.

A LDAP over TLS session starts with an Extended Request, containing the
OID for the Start TLS operation (1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.20037) (see the
attached capture, ldap_over_tls.cap). 

I plan to take a look at the possibility to call the SSL/TLS dissector,
once we've identified a LDAP over TLS session.
