Compiled with GTK+ 2.16.6, (32-bit) with GLib 2.22.4, with WinPcap (version
unknown), with libz 1.2.3, without POSIX capabilities, without libpcre, with
SMI
0.4.8, with c-ares 1.7.0, with Lua 5.1, with GnuTLS 2.8.5, with Gcrypt 1.4.5,
with MIT Kerberos, with GeoIP, with PortAudio V19-devel (built Jun  8 2010),
with AirPcap.

Running on Windows XP Service Pack 3, build 2600, with WinPcap version 4.1.1
(packet.dll version 4.1.0.1753), based on libpcap version 1.0 branch 1_0_rel0b
(20091008), GnuTLS 2.8.5, Gcrypt 1.4.5, without AirPcap.

Built using Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 build 30729

When an SNMP packets contains an object with a length > 4 bytes and the
relevant SMI file is loaded, the dissector returns the following error and
aborts the parsing:
Dissector bug, protocol SNMP: proto.c:1047: failed assertion
"DISSECTOR_ASSERT_NOT_REACHED"

Unfortunately it is not very difficult to have values with a length greater
than 4 bytes. 
As example, the following requests would generate the error described before
--when the relevant SMI file is loaded--:
snmpset -v2c -d -c public 10.215.98.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.111.1.1.0 u 4294967295
snmpset -v2c -d -c public 10.215.98.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.111.1.1.0 u 2147483648

those of course even if are 32bit values are encoded in 5 bytes to respect the
BER encoding rules for unsigned int.

A SMI file could be as follow (this file must be loaded in the "SMI (MIB and
PIB) modules" to see the problem or the dissector would simply return "Missing
MIB"):

MY-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
IMPORTS
       MODULE-IDENTITY, Unsigned32, enterprises
               FROM SNMPv2-SMI;

myModule MODULE-IDENTITY
       LAST-UPDATED "201007120000Z"
       ORGANIZATION " "
       CONTACT-INFO 
                " "
       DESCRIPTION
               " "
       ::= { enterprises my(111) 1 }

myObject  OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX      Unsigned32
        MAX-ACCESS  read-write
        STATUS      current
        DESCRIPTION
                "=   "
         ::= { myModule 1 }
END


The problem is visible (at least) with the following Window releases: 1.2.1 and
1.2.9.
