The idea of doing that lastoffset = offset ... stuff was, that I am reverse
engineering the protocol and I wanted to be able to safely resume dissection
if one element was not of the format that I expected it to have, e.g. have
some trailing information. Was there a specific reason to remove that
behaviour?

Thanks

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
