Hi, I have some problem with decoding a RANAP packet when I perform a HandOver.
Some RANAP packets are malformed in this case. 
I have opened the problem report agains our developers, but they claim that the
message is with accordance with  3GPP TS 25413 and this is a bug of Wireshark. 
See below the description of a problem. 
=====

When HO procedure is performed (IntraFrequency HO), some RANAP packets are
malformed:
