Hi all
anyone knows what does this error message mean:
/dissector assert not reached/ ???

Well, it means the dissector got to someplace in the code which it should not have. Chances are it is a dissector bug.

Usually such a message is accompanied by the name of the dissector and the file and line number where the assertion failed--these give some detail as to the actual problem.
