With this version the libwireshark.dll dependency on freeaddrinfo is gone. So
that proves that is was indeed libgeoip that caused the problem. Now, if we can
go forward, with either a new (1.4.7, long overdue and if it gets fixed there)
or a patched (1.4.6-WS) version, we wouldn't loose the other improvements.

The new GTK bundle puzzles me. It's the right version (at least what I can see
from About Wireshark) but Dependency Walker still shows the libgio-2.0.0.dll
imports freeaddinfo, getaddrinfo and getnameinfo from ws2_32.dll.
The glib source repo for 2.22.4 looks ok, so the only thing I can imagine is
that during the bundle build wspiapi.h wasn't found, hence not included, not
solving the problem.
Maybe that's what Anders was referring too... ?
