Hi Jan,

the commit you are referring to is only present in the development branch,
and not in the 1.10.X branch. You might want to give a try to the 1.11.2
development build found on Wireshark website (or a more recent bleeding
edge nightly build found here: http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/).

Pascal.
