Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Dissector bug

I ran checkhf.pl on packet-dash.c, but it didn't pick up the duplicates,
only the following:
Unused entry: ../../packet-dash.c, hf_description_len
Unused entry: ../../packet-dash.c, hf_oqtp_reserved
Unused entry: ../../packet-dash.c, hf_reserved_bits

However, I also just ran checkAPIs.pl on it, which found the following,
more egregious problems:
Warning: ../../packet-dash.c does not have an SVN Id tag.
Error: Found C++ style comments in ../../packet-dash.c
Error: ../../packet-dash.c                : Not terminated: value_string

Had similar problems of a similar type.  Please run tolls/checkhf.pl on
your dissector source.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
