Re: tshark run during build with plugins gives register_subtree_array error

["Turner, Jay" <Jay.Turner () sabre-holdings com>]

"Well, just read the message, dummy". 8^)
Previously I had initialized everything with zeroes. So the pointers all pointed to zeroes. Setting them to -1 worked. 
I didn't recognize the ett reference or the significance of the -1 in the error message until I went and looked at the 
method header. 1.0.3 on registration apparently didn't check for values so zero used to work.
All's well - Wireshark starts up, my preferences dialog is there, and now I can see if the rest works.

Thank you,
Jay Turner

What significantly changed was dissector initialization, whether the dissector is a plugin or not, and the change was 
that it checks for errors for which it didn't check before the change.
