Comment # 7 on bug 8030 from
The Valgrind script (once modified to run tshark without "-Vx") gave warnings
of this sort:

The problem was that the dissector was storing its address (AT_STRINGZ) in ep_
allocated memory.  It's not the only one doing this... :-(

Fixed (at least for one dissector) in r46320.
