1. The RADIUS dissector does not use wireshark's enclosed dictionaries
(/usr/share/wireshark/radius/dictionary and $INCLUDEs) if there is a user
dictionary (~/.wireshark/radius/dictionary).

2. $INCLUDE paths are _always_ treated as relative, e.g. if I have 
$INCLUDE /usr/share/wireshark/radius/dictionary
in ~/.wireshark/radius/dictionary, wireshark will try to load
~/.wireshark/radius/dictionary//usr/share/wireshark/radius/dictionary.

3. wireshark segfaults if a $INCLUDEd dictionary can not be loaded, e.g.
$INCLUDE some_nonexisting_file
in ~/.wireshark/radius/dictionary.
