There's currently no mechanism in Ethereal for that; note that, in all the platforms on which we support Ethereal, when a process exits all its per-process address space is released. (Items in the address space aren't *individually* freed - the entire per-process address space is released.)
I imagine it's not a problem if I allocate those arrays in proto_register_xxx but I forget to free them...
Even fields names and abbreviations should be dynamically generated at startup. In this case I'll g_malloc them together with the arrays :-)
