These packet-g*.c files all have display filter issues:

1) packet-gryphon.c: PROTOABBREV is "gryphon", but display filter fields are
prefixed with only "gryph".

2) packet-gmrp.c: PROTOABBREV is "gmrp", but display filter fields are prefixed
with "garp".

3) packet-gssapi.c: PROTOABBREV is "gss-api", but display filter fields are
prefixed with "gssapi".

4) packet-gvrp.c: PROTOABBREV is "gvrp", but display filter fields are prefixed
with "garp", most of which conflict with packet-gmrp.c's display filter fields.

5) packet-gsm_a.c: gsm_a_bssmap has 121 registered fields.  Only a limited few
are prefixed to match the PROTOABBREV.  Some of the fields seem as though they
would be more appropriately registered under either gsm_a_dtap or possibly
gsm_a_rp.  I don't have the expertise with these dissectors to provide an
appropriate patch to reconcile these problems.

6) packet-gsm_map.c: There are 1174 display filter fields registered.  Most are
prefixed appropriately as "gsm_map", but many others are prefixed as "gsm_old",
or even "gad", "gsm_ss", or with no prefix at all.  I don't know if the ones
with "gsm_old" are simply obsolete display filter fields or if they should be
prefixed as "gsm_map.old." or what.  Similar uncertainties for the others. 
Someone more knowledgeable than I am with respect to this dissector should
provide a patch for it.
