Why is stuff that happens to be dissected by "dissect_nfsdata()" any
different from anything else in RPCSEC_GSS-authenticated RPC calls?

Does the RPC layer even *know* what stuff would be dissected by that in
Ethereal?

I'd expect the GSSAPI stuff to be done entirely at the RPC layer; what
am I missing here?
