I currently don't have the time to look at this trace in detail (will do that
this weekend if nobody beats me to it), but previous traces of dhcpv6 Vista
clients showed that Microsoft did not implement the RFC, which requires the DNS
name to be encoded like in a DNS request instead of ASCII (to solve the problem
with domains containing non-ASCII characters). Vista uses plain ASCII encoding.

Wireshark currently only supports the RFC conform encoding.
What we should at least do is to continue with the next option instead of
terminating the dissection of the packet.
