Hi,
Wireshark will save the state id with the minimum access length in it's
hash table.
I guess that later when that state of 6 bytes is compareth with a state
of 8 bytes the comparison fails.
I think that ought to be changed to save the full 20 bytes state id and
the minimum access length
And the comparisson should then be made on the actual state id length
used, if greater then minimum length.
I currently have little time to work on this you might want to file a
bugzilla report on this
preferably with an example trace.
