Log:
Prevent potential crash in libsmi.
From: Vincent Bernat <bernat@xxxxxxxxxx>
Since SVN #32006 was committed, the following messages appear when
tshark and Wireshark are started.
For Wireshark the messages appear as popup Windows which must be
dismissed !!
----------
tshark: Stopped processing module SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB due to error(s) to
prevent potential crash in libsmi.
Module's conformance level: 0.
See details at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560325
tshark: Stopped processing module SNMP-MPD-MIB due to error(s) to
prevent potential crash in libsmi.
Module's conformance level: 0.

tshark: Stopped processing module SNMP-PROXY-MIB due to error(s) to
prevent potential crash in libsmi.

Needing to dismiss popup windows each time Wireshark is started is
obviously a non-starter. :)
So; What should be done ?? (I know zilch about SNMP MIBS).

I wanted to commit the attached patch, but I realized, that preferences
are read _after_ loading the SMI modules. :-(
Could we read prefs earlier, maybe twice?

I also asked Vincent about a potentially better workaround [1].
We can remove the buggy(?) MIBs from the default list of MIBs to be
loaded, but it would not help users with older preferences file. :-(
I can turn the popup to a debug message, but silently skipping the
modules does not seem to be a good idea.

I've committed a refinement to the workaround based on Vincent's email
[1] in 32017.
