Since approx. a week ago, I'm getting an assert failure in
epan/packet.c line 663. Adding some trace around the g_assert(),
I see that name is 'h248.package.bin'.

This happens in both tethereal and ethereal. Both built using MSVC6.
Currently I'm using the following work-around:

+ if (!sub_dissectors) + return; 
+
       g_assert( sub_dissectors);
       switch (sub_dissectors->type) {

Anybody got a clue why this should happen (i.e. sub_dissectors == NULL)?
