These PIBs are in Wireshark's default set of MIBs/PIBs to be loaded
(smi_modules), but not in libsmi's default search path
(/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/irtf:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/mibs/tubs:/usr/share/pibs/ietf:/usr/share/pibs/site:/usr/share/pibs/tubs
according to smiGetPath() on SuSE 10.2) which doesn't look like a good idea.

Adding "wireshark: path :/usr/share/pibs" to ~/.smirc and modifying
epan/oids.c to call smiInit("wireshark") rather than smiInit(NULL) (see
the smi_config(3) manual page) fixes things for me ("tshark -v" now runs
without warnings). YMMV.
