If it drops core, it's *ipso facto* a bug.

Yes, there was a call to "proto_tree_add_text()" that should've been a
call to "proto_tree_add_item()" - it was the call to add the top-level
entry in the protocol tree for the IGMP part of the packet (I didn't
find any other such unconverted calls).

I'll check in a fix (it also appears that the call to add that item has
been claim it's 4 bytes long for a while, so I'll fix it to be 8 bytes
long).
