Wireshark compiled with libpcap 0.9-PRE-CVS, however when I try and capture
any USB packets I get the following error:

[Dissector bug, protocol USB: packet-usb.c:1004: failed assertion
"DISSECTOR_ASSERT_NOT_REACHED"]

Has anyone seen this before?

Márton Németh did, apparently; a change was checked into the USB dissector after 0.99.7 was released, with the comment:

	From Márton Németh:
	When an ISOCHRONOUS URB was captured the packet-usb.c does not handle it.
	Case URB_ISOCHRONOUS was added at two different places to handle it also.

so you probably are getting isochronous traffic, and the dissector isn't handling it.

You might try compiling the current SVN version and using that. (It requires more tools to be installed than does compiling a release tarball:

See, for example, the Developer's Guide, linked to from there.
