G'day,
I have discovered a small bug in the function format_text() in packet.c
There is a line (around 437) that does a strcpy(fmtbufp, " ...");
But the fmtbufp pointer isn't incremented on, so when the NULL is
inserted at the end of the loop, the elipses is lost.
I have put fmtbufp += 4; just after the strcpy in my version and it
works fine.

Cheers,
Christopher
