The capture he mailed to me (but only to me, at home - I got it to here
at work via the Miracle Of Web E-mail) doesn't appear to have any
Diameter packets in it.

It also doesn't seem to blow up when I run it with a recent CVS version
of Ethereal (but not the latest version, which I think has your fixes to
those two problems checked in); I'll try grabbing the 0.8.15 source and
see if it blows up on that, in which case it may be another problem that
we fixed after 0.8.15 was released.
