Not known to me - I scanned through my menagerie of capture files
(Tethereal piped to "egrep -i ospf" is handy for that...), and the files
it found containing OSPF packets seem to dissect OK (although the only
frames it found were Hello packets).

Could you either send us a capture file that has the problem, or
selected frames from that capture file including one of the offending
OSPF frames (slicing can either be done by using a display filter in
Ethereal and saving selected frames, using a read filter - same syntax
as display filters - in Tethereal with both "-r" and "-w" flags, or
specifying the frame numbers of the relevant frames to "editcap")?
