On a related but separate note:
I wondered why the "endless loop" problem apparently hasn't been seen up to now
for the batman dissector (packet-bat.c) (and why you didn't see this).
It appears that the problem doesn't happen when Wireshark is built with
"old-packet-list" (which is the default for Wireshark 1.2 and older).
I found that when I ran the "old-packet-list" Wireshark with the current
(unrevised) packet-bat thru a debugger that 'tree' was never NULL when the bat
dissector was called !
ISTR something about this being the case because of coloring rules or
something.
The "new-packet-list' Wireshark (which is the default for the development
Wireshark) *does* call the packet-bat dissector with 'tree' == NULL and
immediately crashed when I tried to open a BATMAN file (before making the
changes attached to this bug).
