-See packet-ip.c which has a simple solution to the problem. It just
-uses a static struct of 4 instances of the ip header struct and
-cycles through them each time the dissector is called.

-Of course, if someone would generate a capture with IP encapsulated

-we can just increase the cycle length when that happens.
