Build Information:

--
I'm trying to write a lua Proto to parse our private protocol on http. But
Wireshark didn't enter my dissector function when the media_type to
"application/octet-stream". When the media_type is set to "text/html",
everything looks fine. 

After I use Lua->evaluate in Wireshark, The dissector table shows my protocol
like this, 'application/octet-stream' is in mess code.

The reason is source code "wslua_proto.c" line 1722 --  "g_free(pattern);".
Because the sub_dissectors->hash_table just add the pattern as point without
duplicate a copy in "packet.c". If the pattern is free in DissectorTable_add,
the pointer will be invalid in the future. 

After I comment line 1722 in wslua_proto.c, it works

I use tshark to debugging for application/octet-stream

$tshark  -r test.pcapng   |grep application/octet-stream
