Oh, that may explain it (from packet-ldap.c) marked with bold/italic/underline:
/* check for a SASL header, i.e. assume it is SASL if
* 1, first four bytes (SASL length) is an integer
* with a value that must be <64k and >2
* (>2 to fight false positives, 0x00000000 is a common
* "random" tcp payload)
* (no SASL ldap PDUs are ever going to be >64k in size?)
*
* 2, we must have a conversation and the auth type must
* be LDAP_AUTH_SASL
*/
sasl_len=tvb_get_ntohl(tvb, 0);
if( sasl_len<2 ){
goto this_was_not_sasl;
}
if( sasl_len>65535 ){
goto this_was_not_sasl;
}
Apparently, the above assumption is wrong.

Wireshark 1.0.0, win32, fails to de-segment (TCP level?) and properly dissect a pretty long (229959 bytes entire conversation) SASL wrapped LDAP response. Regretfully, I cannot share the capture, but the first packet that is not desgemented or dissected in any way (just shows as TCP payload) is (partial):

Notice from offeset 0x36 (after the TCP header) - the size of the SASL buffer is 00 03 6c c9 (224457 bytes), then the usual LDAP ASN.1: 0x60, then 0x83, (3 bytes of length which is now 0x36cc4 -> correctly 5 bytes less than the SASL buffer, followed by the Kerberos 5 OID, and so on.
Please note that previos LDAP request and responses were nicely dissected. It's just this long response that doesn't play nice. The unbind request at the end of all this also looks nice.
I'd be happy to work with someone on testing a fix for it. I could test a Windows binary or a source patch in Linux.
Thanks in advance,
Yaniv.
