I have a small capture file that contains 10 RTP packets. I noticed that
when I load the file (ethereal 0.9.1 on W2K server), the first packet is
passed to dissect_rtp three times. The first time the packet is passed to
dissect_rtp, tree is NULL. The second and third times, tree has a valid
value. All other packets in the capture are passed to dissect_rtp only once
and tree is NULL. 

This does not effect the display of the file but I was wondering if this
behavior is intentional and if so why.

Thanks
