Packet 63 in the capture you sent, which only dissect as RTCP in my

I'll see whether the heuristics can be changed.

The problem appears to be a bug in the RTCP dissector - for padded
packets, it's counting the padding bytes, but not the padding count
byte, as part of the packet, so it thinks there's one byte missing.
I'll look at fixing the bug.

I've checked in a fix for that; it's in the main SVN branch, and I've proposed it for the 1.0.8 release.
