Log:
 Replace use of GMemChunk by se_alloc;
 
 This fixes a major memory leak in the NCP dissector
 caused by the fact that "in recent versions of GLib" (>= 2.10 ?)
 g_mem_chunk_destroy doesn't actually free up the mem_chunk memory.
 
 Note that there still appears to be one or more smaller
 memory leaks somehow associated with NCP dissection.
 
 Example:
 
 A 40M capture file with mostly NCP frames which resulted in a memory
 usage increase of about 20M each time the file was reloaded now results 
 in a 400K-800K memory usage increase each time the file is reloaded.
 
 (If NCP dissection is disabled, there is minimal memory expansion
 each time the file is reloaded).
