c3a7986 by Guy Harris (guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx):

    Don't allocate per-frame data if we don't have an F5 trailer.
    
    The F5 trailer dissector is called before the taps are called, so there
    is no reason why the taps should attach information to the frame if
    there isn't any information attached - if there's an F5 trailer, there
    will be information attached to the frame, so there's no need to attach
    one, and if there's no F5 trailer, there's no analysis to be done, so
    there's no need to attach one.
    
    That way, we don't waste memory that we aren't going to use (about 100MB
    for a large capture I have that has almost 3 million packets).
