Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] patch to eyesdn wiretap module

Hi,

No wories. I still think it's good to have sanity checks (You do _not_
want to get involved in corrupt capture files), but they should not hinder
developement. So what I've done is open up the channel space from 128 up,
which covers the cases seen so far and hopefully future stuff.

Thanx,
Jaap
