After adding a ProtoField.bytes to a TreeItem without a tvb, calling set_len()
on the resulting TreeItem causes Wireshark to crash. Note that Wireshark
doesn't crash if the ProtoField type is a number or string. Even though it
doesn't make sense to call set_len() on an item that doesn't have a Tvb,
Wireshark should not crash.

There were no print-outs to stdout at the time of the crash.


Example Lua:
----------->

local proto_foo = Proto("foo", "Foo Protocol")
proto_foo.fields.bytes = ProtoField.bytes("foo.bytes", "Byte array")

function proto_foo.dissector(buf, pinfo, tree)
    local t = tree:add(proto_foo, buf())

    -- Add field without Tvb
    local t2 = t:add(proto_foo.fields.bytes, "test")

    -- CRASH HERE!
    t2:set_len(4)    
end

udp_table = DissectorTable.get("udp.port")
udp_table:add(7777, proto_foo)
