As Joan indicated, the .pcap file seems pretty messed up.   ;)

Reading this file is essentially a stress test (aka a "fuzz-test") for
Wireshark/Tshark.

Data in frame #43 caused the fcoe dissector to pass an invalid buffer length
parameter to a function which computes a crc on a buffer.

I've committed a fix (SVN #29505) for the crash; Essentially:  certain of the
crc calculation functions now do some additional validation of the length
parameter they receive.

(I'll commit a second fix in a day or so to add some additional defensive
coding to the fcoe dissector itself).

Thanks for the report.
