>From tvb_find_line_end() comment:

 * Set "*next_offset" to the (...) past the end of the buffer if we don't find a line terminator. 

This was changed, tvb_find_line_end() no longer does it, it sets *next_offset to tvb->length, so there's no exception in next call.

I'm also not happy about:

2481                                 /* tvb_get_guint8() */
2482                                 ptr=tvb->real_data + eol_offset + 1;

If it really speedup dissection there should be at least DISSECTOR_ASSERT(tvb->real_data != NULL) before.

Cheers,
Kuba.
