--- Comment #3 from Jeff Morriss <jeff.morriss.ws@xxxxxxxxx> 2011-01-04 18:53:38 PST ---
Poking around a bit more in that first packet, it appears that the data for the
rest of the SCTP packet *is* there, but the IP length is wrong.  As a result
the last few bytes of the SCTP data gets interpreted as Ethernet trailer.

Changing the 1st packet's IP length to 140 (in a hex editor) causes the IP
checksum to be marked as bad, but Wireshark no longer thinks the packet is
malformed.
