------- Comment #4 from ronniesahlberg@xxxxxxxxx  2006-10-11 03:31 GMT -------
This is not a bug.   This is correct behaviour by wireshark.

The packet in the screenshot is a field that is defined as
(rfc1155) as
                  NetworkAddress ::=
                      CHOICE {
                          internet
                              IpAddress
                      }


                  IpAddress ::=
                      [APPLICATION 0]          -- in network-byte order
                          IMPLICIT OCTET STRING (SIZE (4))

I.e.  this field MUST always be exactly 4 bytes in size.


The host that generated this packet is violating the SNMP protocol definition
and sends corrupt and invalid packets.
The packet is corrupted and this is correctly handleded and indicated by
wireshark.

I am certain that the vendor is interested in addressing this bug in their
software so that their traps become compliant with the standard.
