The problem is that register_mibs() uses dynamic array when calling
proto_register_field_array(), which works fine only with static arrays, as
comment for proto_register_field_array() tells:
/* for use with static arrays only, since we don't allocate our own copies
of the header_field_info struct contained within the hf_register_info struct */
