After looking at this:

I think the problem is that register_radius_fields() (which does the dictionary
load) is being registered as a "delayed" field registration routine (via
proto_register_prefix) and is also called during an actual dissection.
Therefore it would see that register_radius_fields [and thus
radius_load_dictionary()]is called *after* all the proto_reg_handoff functions
and thus apparently messes up any and all radius_register_avp_dissector calls
done in proto_reg_handoff...

Thus: I suspect the patch fixes things for packet_radius itself but not for any
other dissector which calls radius_register_avp_dissector() in a
proto_reg_handoff function.

I'll leave this to someone who knows what packet-radius.c is doing.... (I've no
clue).

Bill
