Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Patch for OPC UA protocol

From: Gerhard Gappmeier <gerhard.gappmeier@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 13:54:56 +0100
Hello 

I attached a patch which fixes some problems in the array handling of OPC UA 
data when the array length is zero or -1 which is a Null-Array.
