Well, he didn't provide much context, so him writing to -dev leaded me to believe he's hacking himself.
We just won't know until he tells us.

PS: what's the bug number for the bugzilla entry regarding this issue?

Thanks,
Jaap

Normally I would agree, but if you are using 1.6.x and wireshark can
not find it's plug-ins, the message can be thrown by the openSAFETY
dissector. It is fixed in svn, and the fix for 1.6.x is waiting in
bugzilla.

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 On Wed, 02 Nov 2011 12:11:31 +0100, Marcel
