Since Lua uses 64 bit precision double for representing numbers, we are unable
to
write dissectors for protocols that uses 64 bit integer fields.
Lua can be compiled to use other number representations, but the most common is
64 bit double, see http://lua-users.org/wiki/FloatingPoint for details.
As a workaround, the attached patch introduces Int64 and UInt64 classes and
extends the Wireshark Lua interface to use them when building the protocol
details tree.
