Certainly a valid point.....

I'll hold off for now.

Interestingly enough, I do note that just about half of the
epan/dissector .c source files do not include stdio.h (and more than
half do not include stdlib.h) and I've not heard of any issues with NULL
& etc (although I don't know if anyone has built Wireshark with GCC 4.3).

Hi,

From About Wireshark: "Built using gcc 4.3.1.", as every Debian/Testing installation has. So that shouldn't be a problem. Maybe it's 4.3.0 specific.

Thanx,
Jaap
