When using the TCAP dissector and clicking right on a TID value (i.e.:
0c0013c0) , selecting "Apply as Filter > Selected" the display filter will be
composed as "tcap.tid == 0c0013c0" and WS will error on me with "tcap.tid ==
0c0013c0" isn't a valid display filter: &quot;0c0013c0&quot; is not a valid byte
string.
When manually changing the display filter to  "tcap.tid == 0c:00:13:c0 the
problem is solved. It seems to me the 'Apply as filter...' command from the
context menu is not behaving correctly.

Please file a bug report and include a small capture file for testing.

Of particular interest would be the Wireshark version; 1.8.0 and trunk (1.9.0) don't show this problem. Upgrading might be a simpler solution :-).
