If you would have read comment #3 of me, you had seen, that I posted there a
not well-formed packet, where you can see the errors I was talking about.
Watch for my markings. 
I got this output with the current release version of TShark (0.99.7).
I get your ouput you attached, when I use the newest release (0.99.8-SVN24239).
Thats what I'm using right now to eliminate the bug.

Well... I think it would not change much, if you wrap around these lines with a
fake protocol.
