Works in 2.0.3
--
I was preparing a Wireshark demo for bring-your-kids-to-work day and thought
I'd show one of the simplest things: telnet traffic.

I was really confused when following the TCP stream didn't show me my cleartext
traffic; instead it appeared to show the same basic string over and over again.

A little investigation showed it that "follow TCP stream" is currently showing
the TCP *header* bytes, not the payload.  The behavior is the same in both UIs
as well as in tshark's "-z follow,tcp" output.

It works in 2.0.3.

(I'm recording this before I forget--I don't have time to work on it right
now.)
