There's an if statement in the SAP dissector obviously reverted. If it is IPv4
then the dissector tries to read IPv6 origin addresses and vice versa. This
creates a bunch of errors when the data is displayed although it seems to be
correct. Patching the bit to tell it is IPv6 makes the dissector reading an
IPv4 address and the dissection works.

SAP might not be very popular, but it is still odd that nobody spotted this for
so long. The pcap attached to the ISMACryp wiki page nicely demoes the bug.

Here's the code that needs some obvious fixing (if IPv6 then read IPv4?) in 
epan / dissectors / packet-sap.c:

 170     if (is_ipv6)
 171         proto_tree_add_item(sap_tree, hf_sap_originating_source_ipv4, tvb,
offset, addr_len, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN);
 172     else
 173         proto_tree_add_item(sap_tree, hf_sap_originating_source_ipv6, tvb,
offset, addr_len, ENC_NA);
