The attached packet dump captured while signing on to AIM using
gaim-0.76 causes ethereal (CVS) to crash with the following output:

** ERROR **: file proto.c: line 1917 (alloc_field_info): assertion
failed: ((guint)hfindex < gpa_hfinfo.len)

The problem originates when proto_tree_add_item(tree, hf_aim_infotype,
tvb, offset, 2, FALSE); is called in dissect_aim_snac_signon_signon() in
packet-aim-signon.c.

The attached patch resolves the crash.

Please CC replies to me as I'm not subscribed.
