Discovered while working on Pcap.Net (http://pcapdot.net).

In the attached pcap file, there is a single IPv4 packet with ICMP Destination
Unreachable message that contains the first 32 bytes of original IPv4 data.
The first 32 bytes of the original IPv4 data contains the full IPv4 header
(since Header Length is 24) but Wireshark still doesn't check whether the
Checksum is good or bad and marks both the "Good" and "Bad" fields as "False".
The checksum is marked with "In ICMP error packet", which is correct, but
doesn't explain why the checksum isn't checked in this case.
