Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] [patch] error in ProtoField lua code prevents mask being specified with valuestrin

[Sam Roberts <vieuxtech@xxxxxxxxx>]

The underlying cause is that value_string_from_table()'s use of the
lua stack is not balanced, if a table is iterated, it pops one more
time than it should.

The user-visible effect is that code such as:

  ProtoField.uint8( "wihart.addrspec.dst64", "dst64", base.HEX,
{[0x40]="yes", [0x0]="no"}, 0x40)

will always set the mask to 0, because the the mask is popped when the
value/string table is processed.

I did a (very) quick grep, and didn't see this bug in the other places
lua_next() is called, but it might be worth reviewing further.
