Lately I've been experimenting with the lua support (I had not

The downside is that my lua scripts now interfere with a program that
launches tshark to generate a csv file of pcap.

It sounds as if what you *really* need is to have one or more of *your scripts* disabled.

This is not necessarily an issue specific to Lua scripts; a compiled plugin could cause similar problems.

Perhaps we need an option to disable particular plugins by name in TShark and some GUI option to disable them in 
Wireshark.

*If* your plugin (whether Lua or compiled) is a dissector, and it adds a *new* protocol, you should be able disable it 
with the --disable-protocol command-line option, specifying its protocol by name.
