With a specific NCP trace file loaded, selecting Wireshark's menu item
"Statistics" -> "Conversations" can result in MS Window's based Wireshark to
crash, and Linux based Wireshark to seg fault.  Under Windows, if one has
enabled the Wireshark Debug Console ("Edit" -> "Preferences..." -> "Open a
console window") then the following error message will be written into the
console window (whether or not Wireshark itself actually crashes):

>  22:43:07          Warn Dissector bug, protocol NCP, in packet 2: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION: dissector accessed an invalid memory address

The message above has been seen as far back as 0.99.4pre1 (SVN 19648)
(~2006-10-20).  This problem appears to have been introduced sometime after
0.99.3-SVN-18786 (~2006-07-22) which did NOT generate the message above.  

I will attach a small 2 frame trace which can be used to recreate the problem.
