Hi,

For two reasons:
1) tap_queue_init() also set tapping_is_active to TRUE if there's tap
listeners and there's always tap listeners... cf gsm code (surely a
bug). 

or open a file with expert data, open expert info dialog, keep it open
and CTRL R, the expert info dialog is now empty.

2) there's no guarantee it's a constant, some dissectors (smb and smb2 do)
can register a tap listener when decoding a packet and they may have a
filter.
