Sorry about that.  I've been crazy busy the last two weekends, and have
not had a chance to get back to the dissector.  

Guy sent me two traces on Aug 10th (both broken in my dissector), and
based on them it seems clear that we do indeed need to reference the
flags field from the previous frame.  I have not had the opportunity to
make the necessary changes to the dissector to address the problems Guy
mentioned.  

If Richard's patch does make NTLMSSP stateful, this will help
significantly, since I had not yet gone through the ethereal docs to
learn how to maintain state by tcp session.
