Add port 24209 in the preferences.

My problem is smaler, actually.  When rescanning, the first package is
dissected 3 times in dmp, the first time with visited true, second
with visited false, and third visited true.

This first dissection (in dmp) with visited true happens before
rescan_packets(), and then before visited is set to false.  A comment
in prefs_main_apply_all() indicates that gui_prefs_apply() could cause
redissection.

Is it correct to pass a packet to a dissector the very first time with
visited set to true?
