master branch does not crash simply most probably because
aa09feaf52f842adcf70aca60409281e5739ec08 changed the time where
ssl_generate_keyring_material() funtion is called (it is no more done when
receiving the ServerHello).
Now what I can see is that depending on the compiler used when building a Win32
Wireshark, we get different results:
- with MSVC2010, the memory corruption is detected at the end of the capture
processing because the heap of except_pop() got corrupted
- with MSVC2013, we catch an invalid memory access when calling
gcry_cipher_setkey() with parameters that do look valid
- I was not able to reproduce the issue on Linux

What I suspect is that there is something wrong with the libgcrypt library that
we get from OBS, but I did not find a way to load the gcc debug symbols in my
MSVC debugger.
Switching back to GnuTLS 2.12.18 / Gcrypt 1.4.6 does not crash.

I will probably try to compile myself a libgcrypt library to see what happens.
