It might not do the right thing - "filter_packets()" *shouldn't* destroy
the data, as it shouldn't cause the dissector to dissect the frame
differently, but "redissect_packets()" *should* destroy the data, as
somebody might have changed some preference in such a fashion as to
change the behavior of the dissector.

I'll add another argument to "rescan_packets()", and put back into it
the code to reinit the information and clear the "visited" flag, *BUT*
do it only if that additional argument is true.
