Hmm, I'm wondering about the following piece of code:

+       while (tvb_offset_exists(tvb, offset)) {
+               tvb_find_line_end(tvb, offset, -1, &next_offset, FALSE);
+                                 linelen = next_offset - offset;
...
+               offset = next_offset;
+       }
+}

if tvb_find_line_end returns -1, then next_offset will not be modified,
so if the first run returns a valid value and a later iteration fails,
then this loop might run endless? (Just reading code and docs, no
personal experience with this function).

 Ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
