This issue was uncovered with AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/)

There is a bug in dissect_nds_request located in
epan/dissectors/packet-ncp2222.inc.

dissect_nds_request attempts to call ptvcursor_free() near
packet-ncp2222.inc:11806 using the variable ptvc that is set to null at the
start of dissect_nds_request. Using the attached sample, the only place ptvc
could be set (~ncp2222.inc:11618) is never executed and thus ptvc remains a
null pointer.
