The dissection of the data in TCP packets with the Riverbed Transparency
options should not be done by the dissectors for the protocols which normally
live on these ports, it should be done by the Riverbed Optimization Dissector.

However, since that dissector is not available outside Riverbed, the current
code will go through the list of dissectors every time it sees a packet with
the specific TCP options. Instead of doing that we should just pass it to the
Raw Data dissector.

This fix should be applied to Wireshark 1.6 too.
