Hi,

some weeks ago I started to rewrite the MySQL dissector in order to
understand the new packets of the MySQL protocol used with MySQL 4.1 and
above. I will provide a patch soon.

However now I have the following problem: some packets can only be
dissected properly if one has knowledge about the history of the
connection (i.e. some filds differ depending on the client/server
version given in the greeting/login phase). Is there a way to keep
status information between the packets of a connection? A MySQL
connection is equivalent to a TCP connection.
