Crap, I just realized there are two separate bugs, #'s 2423, which I
filed and 2433, which you filed.  The #'s were so close that at first
glance, I thought they were the same.  I guess that's why I didn't get
any notification of an update - there weren't any.  Might as well mark
mine/yours a duplicate of the other then.

Ah, I didn't notice your additional comments when I posted the link
because I didn't scroll down the page and for whatever reason I wasn't
CC'd when the bug was updated like I normally am, so I didn't expect
there to be any additional comments.  Oh well.  Anyway, I don't really
care which patch is used; yours seems to support more than mine and uses
stuff already in place, so you might as well go with yours.

Fair enough, but before I saw this I had also posted my patch for
review:
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2433

Main difference is I used the existing range functions in range.h.
