If plugin_if_get_ws_info is called whilst a file is being rescanned (say due to
a filter being applied) it causes an Access Violation in
plugin_if_mainwindow_get_ws_info.

        if (cf->state == FILE_READ_DONE) {
            ws_info->cf_framenr = cf->current_frame->num;
            ws_info->frame_passed_dfilter =
(cf->current_frame->flags.passed_dfilter == 1);
        } else {

The access violation occurs in the block of code above because
cf->current_frame in NULL during the rescan.

Suggested fix is to change the code as follows:

        if (cf->state == FILE_READ_DONE && cf->current_frame) {
            ws_info->cf_framenr = cf->current_frame->num;
            ws_info->frame_passed_dfilter =
(cf->current_frame->flags.passed_dfilter == 1);
        } else {

i.e. simply add a test for a non-NULL cf->current_frame value to the if
statement.
