Checked in (although I changed "num" from a "gint32" to a "guint32";
presumably the length is unsigned, not signed).

Checked in - as NIS+, not NIS, in "packet-nisplus.c" and
"packet-nisplus.h" files, and with "nisplus" used instead of "nis" and
"NIS+" used instead of "NIS".

I also had to change "proto_item_set_len()" to do nothing if passed a
null first argument; the dissector, when initially reading in the
capture (and thus not necessarily constructing the protocol tree), will
call "proto_tree_add_item()" with a null first argument, get a null
"proto_item *" back, and pass that on to "proto_item_set_len()", and
that was dumping core.
