I monitor by wireshark a NMS tool based on SNMP protocol. 
My NMS tool appends some bytes (13) of appended data (a sort of encapsulation).

The problem is the following:

If I use Ethereal (e.g. version 0.10.7), the SNMP packet is correctly decoded
and the appended data is not decoded.

If I use Wireshark (see Build Information), nor the appended data, nor SNMP
message is decoded. So with wireshark is no more possible to decode SNMP
messages coming for that system.

In attach a SNMP message that can be correctly decoded by Ethereal and not by
Wireshark.
