Hi everyone,
 
I have a MMSE transaction which makes (t)ethereal to stop on an
assertion:
========================================================================
=======
** ERROR **: file proto.c: line 1296 (proto_tree_add_string): assertion
failed: (hfinfo->type == FT_STRING || hfinfo->type == FT_STRINGZ) 
========================================================================
=======

With some little investigations, I figured out that hfinfo->type is set
to 15 (FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME [date/time]) on this particular frame (number
112). The assertion is then understood.
But why is this packet wrong ??

Could some-one tell me more about it ???

The capture-file is attached...

Thank you for your help
Christophe
