yeah   i saw those weird SNACKs too.

a very very quick eyeballing of them suggests that it is a bug in the
sender of those semgents and not the thereal decode.

i will check it properly tomorrow. it is probably an ethereal bug or
else the other iscsi host receiving them should have been very
"confused" and a hard error should have resulted.
