    .                    packet-tcp.c 
  Log:
  In TCP segments with RST and data, display the data as text, labeling it
  as a cause for the RST, as per RFC 1122:
  
  	4.2.2.12  RST Segment: RFC-793 Section 3.4
  
  	  A TCP SHOULD allow a received RST segment to include data.
  
  	  DISCUSSION
   	       It has been suggested that a RST segment could contain
   	       ASCII text that encoded and explained the cause of the
  	       RST.  No standard has yet been established for such
  	       data.
  
  Thanks and a tip of the Hatlo hat to Kevin Steves of HP for mentioning
  this on the tcpdump-workers list (he contributed a tcpdump patch to do
  the same).
