clone 560325 -1
reassign -1 wireshark
thanks
Dear Wireshark maintainers,
As you know, bug #560325 affects some Wireshark users. In fact, when a
MIB cannot be loaded because, for example, not all dependencies are met,
this MIB is still present in memory but is incoherent. This leads to
some segfault when trying to use it.
This bug seems difficult to fix in libsmi. Therefore, it would be better
to fix the problem in wireshark by checking the conformance of the
module before using it. I attach the simple patch to this mail.
To track this problem, I clone the original bug report (since it needs
to be fixed in libsmi too).
Thanks.

BOFH excuse #98:
The vendor put the bug there.
