wireshark seems to hit a parsing error while parsing "Flow Samples" which
contains "Extended Switch Data". Normal flow sample are parsed fine, so are
counter samples.

Using Inmon's "sflowtool" exe, I am able to parse the sflow packet without any
errors.
Output of "sflowtool -r ../sflow_ta2.pcap -l

Attached is the pcap capture(sflow sequence number 38 is the culprit packet).

Error is:
Dissector bug, protocol sFlow: proto.c:3711: failed assertion "end>= fi->start"

Please fix this, ot let us know if there is something wrong in the sflow packet
itself(sflowtool working properly seems to suggest it's a dissector bug). 

Thanks and Regards,
Subin
