I've still been compiling Wireshark with epan/packet.c's
dissector_add_uint_sanity_check() running. With "Open a console window" set to
either "Automatic" or "Always", when I run Wireshark from cmd.exe, I get:
16:26:50 Warn tcp.port: http registering using pattern 3689 already
reg
istered by http
16:26:50 Warn sctp.port: ssl registering using pattern 443 already
regi
stered by ssl
16:26:50 Warn tcp.port: uma registering using pattern 14001 already
reg
istered by uma
... but when it's set to "Never", then no output is generated. Results differ
when run from cygwin though. With cygwin, lots more output is generated
regardless of the setting.

Good point. I don't know why "Always" is needed.
