This is easiest to illustrate by tracing a request to a website that returns
human-readable text where the missing characters can be readily spotted; for
example, http://chinesesteph.blogspot.com/atom.xml
Follow TCP stream, view or copy the data from the Stream Content Window. 
Intermittently, a character is missing from the body.  The missing characters
do appear in the Packet Bytes Pane, and I think it is always the last character
in the packet that disappears.  If I Save As from the Follow TCP Stream dialog,
the characters are not missing. But if I copy and paste, I get what is
displayed, which means occasional characters are missing.
