3.0 is arguably still a "future release", but I'll update the FAQ at
some point (I am still digging through the 800+ e-mail messages that
arrived while I was out of town for two weeks, *and* I have a bunch of
other stuff to do now that I'm back as well) to note that 3.0 alpha
fixes the bug (but is an alpha release, so you should be prepared to
encounter other bugs - *AND* to help the WinPcap developers out with
fixing the bug).

What do you mean by "contents of the stream"?  Are you referring to the
"Follow TCP Stream" menu item?  If so, note that it *IS* available as an
item on the right-click menu in the topmost pane.
