The problem is with your modification.

Fix your change to packet-wimaxasncp.c so that it does not declare a field of a 
non-numeric type with a BASE_ value other than BASE_NONE - BASE_HEX, BASE_DEC, 
etc. are *only* supposed to be used for fields of type FT_INT{8,16,24,32,64} or 
FT_UINT{8,16,24,32,64}.

We didn't check for that back in November 2009; now we do.
