I assumed, that wireshark crashed because of reason we already had - once we
sent nil instead of hash array and wireshark silently crashed. This assumtion
was wrong.

But back to topic. This code **worked**, until you broke it. There were no
drawbacks in how our plugin and the rest of wireshark worked - except *maybe*
of some log output (i can't remember). And now it **doesn't work**. Was there
any respectful reason to do so?

You said we **should** correct it. You are the ones who broke it - so why
should we repair it and why should we ask you for favour to tell us how to fix
it? If you don't care about backward compability - you don't care about your
users and you also don't care about 3rd party developers who develops plugins
for your software, making it more popular.

You said it's just a line, you haven't said which. The person who wrote this
code probably would have no time / no desire to find it out and fix it 2 years
after this plugin got final. But you don't care about others.

Disrespect.
