(This may be a question better suited for the 
wireshark-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list in the future)

It sounds like the API changed between 1.0.5 and 1.2.0 when it comes to 
handling those columns.  You'll most likely need to recompile your 
plugins using Wireshark 1.2.0 because we don't guarantee API (or even 
ABI) compability between releases.
