I encountered the following bug in the homeplug dissector:

11:11:50          Warn Dissector bug, protocol HomePlug, in packet 1:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION: dissector accessed an invalid memory address

To reproduce the bug, first enable the frame dissector's "Treat all frames as
DOCSIS frames" preference, then load the attached capture file.  You may need
to apply a display filter (I used frame.md5_hash) and then clear the filter.

This dissector uses the ptvcursor API, which I'm not all that familiar with. 
The exception appears to occur in the call to ptvcursor_add() within the
dissect_homeplug_unknown() function.
