Hi,

In pcapng_read_packet_block() memory for pkthdr->opt_comment is allocated with:
  wblock->packet_header->opt_comment = g_strndup(option_content,
oh.option_length);

But is never freed.

Comment from pkthdr->opt_comment to frame structure is copied in
frame_data_init(), but it's only done on initial reading. 
refiltering or any actions which requires reading packet again causes
(possible) memleaks.

(code review, not verified with valgrind)
