Re: [Wireshark-commits] rev 32006: /trunk/ /trunk/epan/: oids.c: Messages each time Wireshark/tshark started

[Balint Reczey <balint.reczey () ericsson com>]

Hi Pascal,

It seems that libsmi 0.4.8 is more picky than 0.4.7 I tested my patch 
with. :-(
I plan to remove the workaround from Wireshark as it makes more problems 
than it solves.
It means that https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4174 
will remain open.

Any objections?

Cheers,
Balint
