Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Problems with epan\oids.c

I have no win32 experience to fix this, so if nobody can make this
work correctly I will propose the attached patch.  This will leak some
memory on win32, but it's better than not working...

I modified your patch slightly to address Windows platforms where MS VC 6 is not used to compile the binaries. Compilations made with VC 6 will therefor not leak memory while the otherones will (no long term solution though).
