 Doing a capture gave a bunch of

    Warn Dissector bug, protocol LDAP, in packet {N}: packet-ber.c:1193: failed
assertion "DISSECTOR_ASSERT_NOT_REACHED"

warnings.

That's from dissect_ber_integer64(), which is warning that the item's length is
between 1 and 8, and that the type of the field is not any of the FT_INTn or
FT_UINTn types.

I don't have the capture (it was a live capture, and I didn't notice the errors
until after I'd quit Wireshark), but I'll look at the LDAP dissector at some
point to see if there are any obvious errors of that sort.
