It's a string, not a number, so don't use proto_tree_add_uint_format(), or any
other proto_tree_add_uint routine.
If it's an 8-octet field containing a null-padded string (presumably the string
can have 8 octets), you should use something such as
proto_tree_add_string(helen_sub_tree, hf_helen_flowname, tvb, offset,
8, flowname);

It doesn't say "don't use strncpy()".
