Please ignore my previous patch and apply this one instead... On Linux
strange statistics operations (divisions / 0 and null pointer
indirections) don't crash Ethereal and display respectively "nan" and
"(null)". To be consistent, I've just used this formalism here.
I've checked that in - but "nan" is just a consequence of the way some OSes (including Linux) and some processors handle floating-point divisions by zero and print NANs, and "(null)" is a consequence of the way some printfs handle null pointers.
I've changed it to display a null file name as "None", and to display the other items as "N/A" ("Not Applicable").
