Title: Malformed packet when decoding SCCP over sigtran

Hi ,

I am seeing the SCCP layer in a SIGTRAN interface (IP/SCTP/M3UA/SCCP..) as a malformed packet when using Ethereal running over Windows.

When I run ethereal over Linux I am able to decode the SCCP layer correctly.

Can anyone tell me what plugins am I missing in the windows version of ethereal ? I am running the latest version of Ethereal 10.14

Output is pasted below.
