Sample capture

Build Information:
Version 1.4.4 (SVN Rev 36110 from /trunk-1.4)

The field Carrier-Id is defined as:
ATTRIBUTE    3GPP2-Carrier-ID            142    octets
This attribute type should be string, i.e. 
ATTRIBUTE    3GPP2-Carrier-ID            142    string
The specification
http://www.3gpp2.org/public_html/Specs/X.S0011-005-D_v2.0_081103.pdf states:

D8 Carrier-ID A string that uniquely identifies the carrier that generated this
UDR.
D8 Carrier-ID 26/142 4 string 3GPP2_Carrier-ID A string that uniquely
identifies the carrier that generated this UDR.

Note that the word 'string' is misleading in this context it actually means
text, as opposed to octets where the words 'octet string' are used:
Eg:
G5 Remote IPv4 Address Octet Count 26/72 variable octet string See Section 4
I have added an image of a sample capture that shows that the data is indeed
text. Although I can modify my local dictionary, this should be fixed within
Wireshark for all to use.
