Still crashes for me on Linux.  Backtrace is:

Unfortunately all the variables in frame 5 are optimized out and weirdly if I
turn off optimization the crash doesn't happen.

But, digging further, I think the problem is in frame 7 with this code:

~~~
    525           if (value == pChoice->value)
    526           {
    527             CSN_DESCR   descr[2];
    528             gint16      Status;
    529             csnStream_t arT = *ar;
    530             proto_item   *ti;
    531             proto_tree   *test_tree;
    532 
    533             descr[0]      = pChoice->descr;
    534             descr[1].type = CSN_END;  <<< why are we initializing the
2nd entry in the array?
[...]
    548             Status = csnStreamDissector(test_tree, &arT, descr, tvb,
data, ett_csn1);
~~~

The (recursive) csnStreamDissector() call immediately does a switch on the
pDescr->type, so I'm pretty sure the initialization of 'type' is supposed to be
done on entry 0 instead of 1.  Changing it eliminates the uninitialized
variable read and fixes the crash.

(BTW, CSN_END is 0; this may explain why turning optimization off prevented the
crash: uninitialized memory is frequently--but certainly not always--0.)

Fixed in rev 38430.
