Hi folks,

While figuring out how to get a dissection function for
ECDSA_Sig_Value, I noticed that asn2wrs.py no longer generates the
same code it once did.

I re-ran asn2wrs.py against epan/dissectors/asn1/pkcs1/pkcs1.cnf
(unmodified) and then compared the current output to what is checked
in. This is what I get:

This seems like a problem ...

Perhaps I should file a bugzilla bug.
