There may be a couple of problems here.

The capture file contains ANSI MAP not GSM MAP.

Hmm, when I load that capture file the SCCP portion says:

SSN: 6
[Linked to TCAP, TCAP ssn linked to GSM_MAP]

which looks OK.

However, the bottom of the TCAP protocol tree says says "BER Error: 
Wrong field in sequence [...]".

I suppose that's preventing the TCAP dissector from calling the GSM_MAP
dissector.

[If so should such BER errors fail an assertion or something so the packet
shows up as malformed/dissector bug/whatever??]
