Hi there,

When I try to run wireshark, I couldn’t successfully capture all the packets.
Wireshark thinks it saw a million items in just one packets and went into an
infinite loop and hogged the machine. 

Warn Dissector bug, protocol ADATA, in packet 372: More than 1000000 items in
the tree -- possible infinite loop.

Can you please provide the solution?
