I was referring to your statement regarding APN length check of 31 (0x20)
instead of 63.  It actually seems like a bug. A test APN of length greater than
32 characters is getting decoded wrongly due to messing up of offsets.
(Problematic Test Case attached) 
Same is getting decoded correctly when changing the label check to 63.

static void
decode_apn(tvbuff_t * tvb, int offset, guint16 length, proto_tree * tree)
{

    guint8 *apn = NULL;
    int     name_len, tmp;

    if (length > 0) {
        name_len = tvb_get_guint8(tvb, offset);

        if (name_len < 0x3F) {
            apn = tvb_get_ephemeral_string(tvb, offset + 1, length - 1);
            for (;;) {
                if (name_len >= length - 1)
                    break;
                tmp = name_len;
                name_len = name_len + apn[tmp] + 1;
                apn[tmp] = '.';
            }
        } else
            apn = tvb_get_ephemeral_string(tvb, offset, length);

        proto_tree_add_string(tree, hf_gtp_apn, tvb, offset, length, apn);
    }
}

Should I open a raise bug for this???
