Maybe it would be better to open a new bug for this so it's not forgotten about?  And maybe the Pidl Wiki page should be updated to indicate that patches should be submitted via bugzilla instead?  Or not.  I just know that the core developers don't always have the time to review and commit the patches right away so if it's filed with bugzilla, then it won't be lost or forgotten.

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Pidl patch for ABSOLUTE_TIMEs

Hello,

The Wireshark Wiki page:

http://wiki.wireshark.org/Pidl

says to send patches against Pidl to this address.

Pidl generates some Wireshark dissector fields of type
FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME.  Starting some time not too long ago, these fields
need a 'display' field other than BASE_NONE or BASE_DEC.  The attached
patch fixes this, *assuming* that all the times are "local."  Other
options include:

        ABSOLUTE_TIME_UTC,      /* UTC, with month and day */
        ABSOLUTE_TIME_DOY_UTC   /* UTC, with 1-origin day-of-year */

For now (to keep Wireshark running) I've modified the dcerpc-lsa
dissector manually; this is my attempt to push the patch upstream.

Regards,
-Jeff
