That call happens to do something that's probably safe on platforms where

	1) "int" has no more bits than a pointer

and

	2) converting from int to pointer doesn't mangle the bits

which is true of all the platforms we currently support.

However, it's still a good idea to fix it. There is no code in Wireshark that actually *uses* the DTLS tap, so we could just get rid of the tap. It seems a bit odd that the data passed to the tap is the proto_dtls value - that doesn't seem like very interesting information to pass to a tap, as it doesn't change from call to call.
