Re: Fix for WinPcap 3.1

[Andy Lutomirski <luto () stanford edu>]

I don't love this test for Unicode -- it will false-positive if there is 
a single-character name and will probably overread the buffer.  If 
anyone knows a clean way to find winpcap's version, that would help. 
Also, in a release or two, we should probably remove the extra tracing.

On the other hand, it does work.  Thanks.
