Hmmm, sounds like a bug in your dissector ;-)


Does it happen at the same packet, or is it completely random? (I would 
guess it's random).

You might try to comment out some parts of your dissector, to isolate 
the place of your bug.

Another way might be a review of your code, as anyone (including me) is 
sometimes blind for "self made" problems.


I had a similar problem. I spend a few days trying to fix that one, but 
in the end I found it "by accident" when looking for something 
completely different :-)
