Log:
  Do not use BASE_NONE for FT_UINT8 types.
  Fixes https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7333 (I think).

The code in epan/proto.c seems to indicate that using BASE_NONE with FT_*INT* types should be OK when there the strings converter is supplied:

                case FT_UINT32:
                case FT_UINT64:
                        if (hfinfo->strings == NULL) {
                                /*  Require integral types (other than frame number,
                                 *  which is always displayed in decimal) to have a
                                 *  number base */
                                if (hfinfo->display == BASE_NONE)
                                        g_error("Field '%s' (%s) is an integral value (%s)"
                                                " without strings but is being displayed as BASE_NONE\n",
                                                hfinfo->name, hfinfo->abbrev,
                                                val_to_str(hfinfo->type, hf_types, "(Unknown: %d)"));
                        }

Where was it crashing (er, excepting out)? (There's no sample PCAP file in that bug.)
