Hi,

I wanted to see the IP header that is inside an ICMP dest unreachable, so I
modified dissect_icmp to call dissect_ip so that I can see this info.

I am not sure how useful this will be, but it seems to work OK.

What it brought up is the issue that a dissector may want to reach down
inside what another dissector has done to pull up fields and info.


Regards
