I'm guessing that the dictionary is probably OK but that there's a bug in the radius load_dictionary code unrelated to that specific dictionary file because:

I get the crash if I use a dictionary file with just 1 attribute line in it (or even with an empty dictionary file).

So: I'll take a look-see tomorrow.



By the way: the actual error message (on Windows)

 Unhandled exception at 0x685dc910 in wireshark.exe: 0xC0000005: Access
 violation reading location 0xbaadf00d.

Sounds like a reference using an unintialized pointer or something similar which may not be too hard to fix.
