Why would the following command fail to produce a pointer to the dissector? 

  sccp_handle = find_dissector("sccp");
Because the SCCP dissector doesn't register itself by name; to do so, it would have to, in "proto_register_sccp()", do 

	register_dissector("sccp", dissect_sccp, proto_sccp);
(after registering the protocol and setting "proto_sccp"). If it does that, "proto_reg_handoff_sccp()" should get "sccp_handle" with 

	sccp_handle = find_dissector("sccp");
rather than using "create_dissector_handle()" to create a separate "anonymous" handle.
