When writing a dissector in lua, I'm unable to decode a 64 bit integer.
given:
function sx2v2_packet.dissector(buffer,pinfo,tree)
        -- Packet Header
    local actual = buffer(0,8):uint64()
    if (sx2v2_expected ~= actual) then
        print("unexpected seqnum " .. actual)
    end
sx2v2_expected = actual
end

the call to uint64 fails with this error:
attempt to call method 'get_uint64' (a nul value)

Changing the line to use buffer(0,4):uint() works, but is incorrect for my
needs.
