Not registering the "mgw" dissector by name in proto_register_mgw().   
(No, registering the *protocol* won't register the *dissector*.  There is not a one-to-one correspondence between protocols and dissectors; some protocols have more than one dissector.  And, no,
create_dissector_handle() won't register it by name, either.) ___________________________________________________________________________
