It looks like those printouts are coming from the Mikey dissector which is
using proto_tree_add_debug_text() to display stuff to stdout.  I'd guess:

1) proto_tree_add_debug_text() should not output anything if we're only writing
the packets to a file (as you are here)
2) and/or proto_tree_add_debug_text() should be done away with and replaced
with expert infos

Since that function isn't used much I'd tend to go with option (2).

Anyway, Bhupesh, these print outs can be safely ignored it is just a by-product
of the dissection being done.
