Thanks for sending the capture file to me.  The problem is that 
Wireshark is trying to reassemble the TCP segments into a whole stream 
so that it can dissect it, but since each packet was limited to a max of 
200 bytes captured, this isn't working.  I'm going to move this 
discussion over to the wireshark-dev mailing list for discussion because 
I don't think reassembly should be done when the capture size is 
limited.
