There were a number of places (not only in those dissectors) where an
FT_STRING field was used for an opaque array of bytes; doing so will
cause that crash (as a consequence of another fix, on 0.8.18, to keep
Ethereal from crashing if an FT_BYTES field was used for an opaque array
of bytes).

I have checked in fixes for those; they will show up in the next
release.  We should consider putting out a new release to pick up those
fixes.
