The problem does not occur with the CVS version of Ethereal. You're
probably experiencing a bug that crept into 0.8.12 and was fixed
immediately after that release. 

The patch for that is available at:

http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200009/msg00122.html

But Ethereal 0.9.0 will be released either today or tonight, so you
could just wait for that.
