I received a trace from a friend who wanted assistance troubleshooting an
issue.  I tried to decode it as usual but Wireshark crashes instead.

Error dialog appears that says:
===
GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c175: failed to allocate 1073741824 bytes aborting...
===

If I click 'OK' on that error dialog I get the following:
===
Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. 
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
===


The method to re-create the issue is:
1. Open file ip-tbt.cap using wireshark version 1.2.2 (I'll attach the file to
this ticket)
2. Select Telephony | VoIP Calls from the menu bar
3. Single-click on the only call in the trace (start time 7.062)
4. Click 'Player'
5. Select "Use RTP timestamp" and select "Decode"


NOTE:  If during step #5 I do not select "Use RTP timestamp" the decode
function works properly.  
Severity set to CRITICAL due to application crash per the severity guidelines
on the site.
