So were Intel; they contributed their dissector, which is checked into 
the current version of the Wireshark code base.

There appear to be cases where, when you click on a packet, the 
dissector is called twice, rather than just once.

However, that *still* means it's called more than once.  When a capture 
file is read in, each packet is dissected.  After that, every time you 
click on a packet, it's dissected again.

Either

	1) fix your dissector so that it handles being called more than once

or

	2) just use Intel's dissector by getting a recent buildbot build.
