Wireshark calculates CDP checksums incorrectly for odd length packets. Packets
with an even number of bytes are calculated correctly, but odd length packets
show an incorrect checksum. This was verified on a Cisco Catalyst 2950 running
IOS 12.1(22)EA12.

There is an example capture attached to this bug from this same switch that
shows two packets and the error. The first packet is with an even length, and
the second is with an odd length. The change in length was accomplished simply
by changing the name of the switch to add an extra character.
