Comment # 1 on bug 13141 from 
ref: packet-ip.c:dissect_ip_tcp_options()

This TCP option has no (option) dissector, therefore falls back to a default
option dissector dissect_ipopt_type(). Unfortunately this is not protocol
agnostic, assuming IP option format.

I suggest to change this so that the option dissector may no longer be NULL,
hence each protocol using this feature (IP, TCP, PPP) define its own default
option dissector.
