The simple tap code I used to test lua tap functionality

Build Information:
wireshark 1.1.3

Copyright 1998-2009 Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> and contributors.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Compiled with GTK+ 2.16.1, with GLib 2.20.1, with libpcap 0.9.5, with libz
1.2.3, without POSIX capabilities, without libpcre, without SMI, without
c-ares,
without ADNS, with Lua 5.1, without GnuTLS, without Gcrypt, with MIT Kerberos,
without GeoIP, without PortAudio, without AirPcap.
NOTE: this build doesn't support the "matches" operator for Wireshark filter
syntax.

Running on Darwin 9.7.0 (MacOS 10.5.7), with libpcap version 0.9.5.

Built using gcc 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490).

After creating a tap with "Listener.new()", supplying packet, draw, and reset
functions, and loading a packet capture, none of the functions are called.

I used the tap example from
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/wslua_tap_example.html and
added print statements at the top, at the top of "menuable_tap" and in each of
"tap.packet", "tap.draw" and "tap.reset".  Only the first two print statements
were called - none of the tap callbacks are ever called.

I have gotten a Lua dissector working flawlessly with this build.

I keep on getting the feeling I missed some crucial piece of Lua documentation,
but despite all my googling skills, such information seems entirely
nonexistent.

This also occurred in 1.0.7.
