Hi,
 

When someone runs tethereal -G it outputs a list of protocols supported
by ethereal and its fields.

I discovered tethereal is reporting duplicated fields. In some cases,
diferent protocols like fldb and dce_dfs have some fields with the
same PROTOABBREV.FIELDABBREV. In other cases, a field of a protocol
is reported twice, each instance having some diferences in "FIELDNAME",
"FIELDTYPE" or "FIELDDESCR". Sometimes it's  just a case difference.

Here is the list of the fields reported twice:
IP Data                      FT_UINT8    fldb                                                           afsNetAddr.data
