Comment 3 Tigran Mkrtchyan 2015-06-11 09:57:32 UTC 
can you check with added patch? Works for me. I will send it upstream.

Thanks.
Comment 4 Tigran Mkrtchyan 2015-06-13 07:25:53 UTC 
this is the reply from author of libBitOp:

"These changes are most certainly wrong as they either lose the
conversion semantics for FP numbers or they'll overflow for
integer numbers."


I think Lua is dead as extention language.

You can close the this bug as 'wontfix'


Tigran.

Is this still true? wslua seems to have a constant stream of commits upstream, so it doesn't seem dead. It would be very nice to have a script option for dissectors.
