You'll have to debug this one yourself; there's no code that a search
for "cinfo", followed by 0 or more tabs or spaces, followed by "=",
found that explicitly clears the "cinfo" field of the packet info
structure; there's only

	edt->pi.cinfo = cinfo;

in the beginning of "dissect_packet()", and that sets "edt->pi.cinfo" (a
pointer to "edt->pi" is passed as "pinfo" to "dissect_frame()", which
passes it on to subdissectors) to the value passed as an argument.

So either

	1) some piece of code is stomping on "pinfo->cinfo"

or

	2) it's null all the way back to the top-level dissector.
