Unfortunately, things are still not correct, and all observances listed in
comment 13 still apply, with the following differences to these items:

3) The non-UTF8 characters (assuming they're non-UTF8?) are still not displayed
properly.  Before, instead of displaying "Brasília", Wireshark displayed
"Bras\355\lia"; now it displays "Bras\303\255lia".  Again, the menagerie's
mond.pcap file has more examples of this as well:

"Brazil","-","S\303\243o Paulo, 27"
"Brazil","-","Vit\303\263ria, 08"
"Colombia","-","Bogot\303\241, 33"
"Denmark","-","\303\205lborg, 19"
"Denmark","-","Nyk\303\270bing, 20"
"France","-","Chalon-sur-sa\303\264ne, A1"
"France","-","Villefranche-sur-sa\303\264ne, "
"Germany","-","F\303\274rstenwalde, 11"
"Germany","-","H\303\266st, 07"
"Hungary","-","T\303\266r\303\266kb\303\241lin"
"Iceland","-","Reykjav\303\255k, 10"
"Russian Federation","-","Korol\303\253v, 47"
"Spain","-","M\303\241laga, 51"
"Sweden","-","\303\226rkelljunga, 27"
"Sweden","-","G\303\266teborg, 28"
"Sweden","-","S\303\266lvesborg, 02"
"Taiwan","-","Taoy\303\274an, 04"

6) With only GeoIPv6.dat and GeoLiteCityv6.dat, the 3 columns: City, Latitude
and Longitude are displayed.

7) With all 4 databases present, there are 6 columns: 2 Country columns, 2 City
columns, and the Latitude and Longitude columns.  Both the 2nd Country and City
columns contain nothing but "-".

The results were obtained with SVN 42907, using the latest GeoIP databases from
http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolite, and tested on Windows 7 64-bit with the
attached geoiptest4.pcap file.

Of note, when working with the attached geoiptest6.pcap file, then when all
databases are present, it becomes a bit more obvious what's going on with the
duplicated Country & City columns since now the 1st Country column contains
nothing but "-" while the 2nd Country column contains the actual location
information.  (In this case, there is no City information either way, but if
there were, then I would be willing to bet that it would appear in the 2nd City
column.)
