I inserted the following line at epan/dissectors/packet-ieee8023.c line 71:

fprintf(stderr, "(%s line %i) except_ch.except_obj.except_dyndata is %p\n",
__FILE__, __LINE__, except_ch.except_obj.except_dyndata);

and got the following output:

(packet-ieee8023.c line 71) except_ch.except_obj.except_dyndata is 0xbf852f88
(except.c line 372) ptr is 0xbf852f88
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xbf852f88 ***
Aborted (core dumped)

The gdb backtrace showed 0x0, so it looks like the mismatch is a gdb problem.
