Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 10233] Wireshark crashes if Lua heuristic dissector return

Comment # 3 on bug 10233 from
A simple test seems to show that if report_failure() is called from
proto_reg_handoff...() that wireshark code execution doesn't proceed until the
alert box is dismissed.

(I haven't yet tried calling report_failure from main code in a dissector).

I do note that the gtk_dialog_run() doc says the following:

"Note that even though the recursive main loop gives the effect of a modal
dialog (it prevents the user from interacting with other windows in the same
window group while the dialog is run), callbacks such as timeouts, IO channel
watches, DND drops, etc, will be triggered during a gtk_dialog_run() call."


Is there anything special going on with LUA ?
