when I'm dissecting the payload?

If you want to leave the column information supplied by the UDP dissector alone,
you can either call col_set_fence(pinfo->cinfo, COL_INFO) before adding or
setting your own column information, or you can avoid column adds/sets and use
col_append_*() functions instead.

If you really need access to the UDP ports though, you can get them from
pinfo->srcport and pinfo->destport.
