I have found in file packet-ssl-utils.h from the latest Wireshark source
distribution following constant:

#define DTLSV1DOT0_VERSION     0x100

And this constant is used in file packet-dtls.c several times. 

So, Wireshark still uses invalid DTLS protocol version. Regarding the version
of DTLS, RFC 4347 states:

"This documen describes DTLS Version 1.0, which uses the version { 254, 255 }. 
The version value of 254.255 is the 1's complement of DTLS Version 1.0. This
maximal spacing between TLS and DTLS version numbers ensures that records from
the two protocols can be easily distinguished.  It should be noted that future
on-the-wire version numbers of DTLS are decreasing in value (while the true
version number is increasing in value.)"

Obviously, OpenSLL also had a bug in version 0.9.8e which has been fixed in
version 0.9.8g. 

Regards,
Martin
