Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] What's wrong with 1.3?

I'm facing things I can't really explain and it is driving me nuts.

I now have the latest 1.2 and the latest 1.3 SVNs in parallel use. with the exact same copy of packet-dcm.c. In 1.2 things behave as expected (both with 1.2 and 1.3 version packet-dcm.c).

In 1.3 I had yesterday:
- Debugging problems in MSEE (function is terminated somewhere in the middle)
- Setting a simple int in a structure causes a crash (heap error)
I'd usually contribute this to accessing deallocated memory, but why does the same thing work in 1.2? I'd also say, that about two month ago, I did not see this in 1.3.

Today I get an a DISSECOTOR_ASSERT_NOT_REACHED in a super simple proto_tree_add_int_format() tvb is 28670 bytes long, the offset is only 622 and I'd like to mark 4 bytes.

Is this to be expected with coding work going on?
