There shouldn't be general problem with fastStart (I have it in a lot of captures), but there could be a mistake in
H.245 dissector or PER dissector for
some specific scenario.

I will try to have a look it.

I didn't find any obvious mistake for forwardLogicalChannelParameters_multiplexParameters_choice,
forwardLogicalChannelParameters_sequence, ...
when I had a quick look.

I didn't find any difference between h245v10 and h245v9 that I thought could explain this specific problem either.

I might need some sample capture to try with.
