Hi Jaap,

thanks for the pointer. I have created
a new bug report and added the diff there.
I hope it worked. Can you see my request?

Many thanks,
 Philip

Good catch.

I have implemented exactly as you suggested (assuming I understood your
suggestion 
correctly). :-D 

Please find attached the modified files: 
(I merged everything into the crc32-files and got rid of the crc32c files)



If that is what you had in mind, then I will contribute it by sending my
diff 
to the bug-list of wireshark (as suggested in the README.developer).

Cheers,
