I'm writing a dissector for a TCP-based protocol. I have a

se_alloc(), so it has a lifetime of capture, but the object itself
contains libgcrypt handles which are alloced by g_malloc. How should I
free these handles? Is there any mean to catch the moment when my
state object is about to be destroyed?

If you register a routine with register_init_routine() (the routine takes no arguments and returns no value), it will 
be called *after* all the se_alloc()ated memory is freed.  Will that suffice?
