But, when trying to capture the packet i am getting this error.

*Aborted*

Any idea what might have gone wrong ???

call_dissector_only is called from call_dissector what itself is called from dozens functions. Probably you may have a problem with registering your dissector correctly, but that's only a vague guess without any source code.

What about running Wireshark in a debugger, catching the assertion and examining the return stack? This could give a hint *which* handle is NULL.
