I was looking at the conversation code to use it in a rlogin
dissector I'm working on.  I see that the conversation_t type
data pointer isn't destroyed in the conversation_init routine.
Is there a reason for this?  I have examined the code in
packet-afs.c, packet-rpc.c, and packet-smb.c and don't see that
any of these routines are using the data pointer.  It appears
that the conversation code could free this memory, if we wanted
to. Whichever way is picked; it needs to be documented in the
developers guide.
