My e-mail to that patch's author bounced, so we probably aren't going to 
get an updated version of that patch.  When I applied the patch locally 
and viewed your capture file, there were just as many malformed packets 
as before so that patch won't help unfortunately.

Do you have a link to the specifications for that protocol?  With that, 
someone may have some spare time to change the dissector to work with 
the traffic you're seeing.
