Sorry I'm replying to this so late.  The main problem here is that the
packets are coming from the default RADIUS port, which also happens to be
the default Diameter port until IANA assigns a new one.

Once Diameter has it's own port, this should only happen when RPC again
tries to squat a well known port.

But, at least the dissector was smart enough to barf on the packet w/o core
dumping :)
