A GTK-ERROR can occur in packets when there are multiple Netbios/SMB headers in
a single frame.  

In the attached capture please ignore the IP and TCP layer errors (the capture
was scrubbed). Please view the Packet List, Packet Detail and Packet Bytes
window.  In the Packet Detail window you'll see that there are 8 Netbios
Session Service layers with 8 corresponding SMB layers.

To see the problem do the following:

1) Click on the first NetBIOS Session Service entry in the Packet Detail
window.  In the Packet Bytes window (hex) you'll see that only 4 bytes
(0x0042-0x0045) are highlighted instead of the whole NetBIOS PDU.

2)Click on the second NetBIOS Session Service entry in the Packet Detail
window.  In the Packet Bytes window (hex) you'll see that 92 bytes
(0x00f2-0x01a5) are highlighted.  This is the whole NetBIOS PDU plus 4 extra
bytes.

3) Click on the third NetBIOS Session Service entry in the Packet Detail
window.  In the Packet Bytes window (hex) you'll see that 180 bytes
(0x009a-0x00f5) are highlighted.  This is the whole NetBIOS PDU plus 92 extra
bytes.

4) Click on the fourth NetBIOS Session Service entry in the Packet Detail
window.  In the Packet Bytes window (hex) you'll see that 267 bytes
(0x009a-0x00f5) are highlighted.  This is the whole NetBIOS PDU plus 179 extra
bytes.

5) Click on the fifth NetBIOS Session Service entry in the Packet Detail
window.  At this point You get the error "Gtk-ERROR Byte index 6 is off the end
of the line aborting..." message.  This error occurs because the area to be
highlighted in the Packet Detail window is beyond the end of the TVB.

Cause:

This problem appears to be caused by the "proto_item_set_len(ti, offset);"
statement in the "dissect_nbss_packet()" routine.  I see no reason why this
statement is being used particularly since there are multiple NetBIOS PDUs in
this frame and this call is using the current "offset" to try to set the PDU
lenght for each of the PDUs which leads to the error.

If I comment out "proto_item_set_len(ti, offset);" and recompile the errors
goes away and the high-lightening in the Packet Bytes window is correct.

At this point I'm not sure if this is the actual fix without more testing.
