Similar, or the same?

Line 2096 of proto.c is (currently) a "g_assert()" in 
"proto_register_protocol()", and fails if there's already a protocol 
registered with that name.  I don't see any other module registering a 
protocol named "asn1", and don't see any code path that would cause the 
"generic ASN.1" dissector to register itself twice.
