It appears that the ASN.1 dissector registered with TCP, UDP, and SCTP 
port 801 even if it hadn't read in any file, and thus was called even if 
it had no "PDU tree", and thus cheerfully dereferenced a null pointer 
and crashed.

I've checked in a fix, which will be in the next release.  (I don't know 
when that will be.)

You could disable the ASN.1 dissector - Analyze > Enabled Protocols, and 
turn off the "ASN1" ("ASN.1 decoding") protocol.
