From: Stig Bjørlykke <stig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 02:06:56 +0200I just gave it a quick try on a protocol 
registering to "udp.port".

The first problem occurred in an assert in splash_update, proposed

gtk/about_dlg.c (revision 28551)+++ gtk/about_dlg.c (working copy)@@ -229,9 +229,10 @@}if(ul_count == 0) /* get the 
count of dissectors */- ul_count = register_count() + 6; /* additional 6 for:+ ul_count = register_count() + 8; /* 
additional 8 for:dissectors, listeners,registering plugins, handingoff plugins,+ registering python, handingoff

for protocol, one for handoff) but in reality you need toadd 2 for _each_ python plugin registered.  I'm not sure how 
to fix things, but the real problem seems to be that the counts are"hard coded" in proto_reg_count, and 
handoff_reg_count in epan/dissectors/register.c and don't take into account that the python ones are added 
dynamically.On a related note...  Has the Python work been orphaned?  I can't find much inthe way of others 
testing/fixing these basic bugs.
