| I am creating a plugin that is intended to decode
  custom h248 packages.
 I would like to register my protocol to h248.propertyName, but the
  "dissector_add" function continues abort with "assertion
  failed" messages in protocol.c, line 709.  My intent is register
  all of my custom package IDs to this field
 
 I looking at the back trace, in packet.c, link 707 thefunction
  "find_dissector_table(name)" where name==h248.propertyName, returns
  Zero.  Hence the error is created on packet.c, line 709 where the sanity
  check is called.
 
 I have listed the registered fields (tshark -G) looking for a field name that
  would work but I have and no success.
 
 Here is the code in my plugin that fails:
 
 for ( i =
  0; package_name_ext_vals[i].strptr!=NULL; i++ )
 {
 dissector_add("h248.<Field>",
  \ /* tried many field values */
 package_name_ext_vals[i].value,\
 h248ext_handle);
 }
 
 The value_string array "package_name_ext_vals[]" lists all of the
  custom packageIDs and their names that I would like to decode.
 
 I would prefer to create a plugin and not modify the current h248 code base.
 
 Thanks as always for your help.
