Hi,
Does anyone know if the main dissector function:
static gboolean dissect_xxxxx(tvbuff_t *tvb, packet_info *pinfo, proto_tree *tree);
can be invoked from two different threads concurrently?

The question can be rewritte into: does Ethereal call the dissectors only from one thread at the time or there's a chance (or will be a chance in future versions) that more than one thread will call the dissector function at the same time?

Thanks,
Fabrizio
