Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Expert info missing entries

Team,

I came across a problem that is described in posting 
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200607/msg04326.html

I can confirm that the change as described there works, e.g.
in expert_dlg_init() I call:
   cf_redissect_packets(&cfile);
instead of
   cf_retap_packets(&cfile, FALSE);

I was not able to locate any followup on the posting.
Is this problem not important? I am adding many expert infos in my
dissector, and would like to understand if they should appear in the
expert info list or not.

Alternatively, can someone try to figure out why the expert_item value
is null when performing a retap (this is from the comment in
expert_comp_dlg.c)? I am afraid I would need too much time for it.

Thanks in advance
Andrej
