Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] GSM A interface bug fix

From: Neil Piercy <Neil.Piercy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 22:21:44 +0100
Attached is a packet which used to crash wireshark due to passing a null pointer string to a format in proto_tree_add_uint_format due to an undissected Message Id.

The patch avoids the crash for unknown messages, adds the Common Id message dissection which caused it, and also add dissector name registration for the 2 other protocols which this file can provide - (which strikes me as indicative that it should really be split into the 3 internal layers BSSMAP, DTAP and SMS RP).
