It appears that SSL record decoding is encountering a problem where the SSL
record header spans TCP segments. In this instance, Wireshark never picks up
the record, and so that, and all subsequent SSL records in the TCP stream, are
listed as a "malformed packet".

Attached is the capture showing the issue. The frame of note is 30722. In this
frame, the SSL decoder has reassembled all of the TCP segments for this record,
but if you examine the end of the record data, you'll see the start of a new
record. However, the last byte of the length header is in frame 30749. Frame
30750 then shows as Malformed Packet, and all further SSL record in the stream
are listed as Malformed.
