FWIW I had a little look into this (compiling with VS2005) and it
appears to be linker issues. When I run reassemble_test.exe, it
complains about a missing procedure entry point "_encode_pointer" in
msvcr80.dll. This appears to be called from zlib1.dll.
Note that I'm also using the rebuilt zlib1.dll required for use with
VS2005. Wireshark itself runs fine.
