After further searching (still haven't found an official spec unfortunately) it
does seem that most places expect CDR strings to be both counted *and*
NULL-terminated, which is rather silly. However.

The change was *probably* https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/786/

Given that, I will write a trivial patch to ignore the last character of a
counted CDR string iff it is '\0'.
