Hi,

It's a test that find_heur_dissector_list(name) returns a valid list.
In this case it returns NULL: you try to add to a subdissector list which doesn't exist.

You need to setup the subdissector list before adding to it.
Note that display filter fields do NOT automagically become a subdissector list.
These are separate namespaces.

Thanks,
Jaap
