Actually, this one:
for(sid_number = 1; sid_number <= number_of_sids; sid_number++) {
proto_tree_add_item(parameter_tree, hf_stream_reset_sid, parameter_tvb,
sid_offset, SID_LENGTH, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN);
sid_offset += SID_LENGTH;
}
could conceivably *not* cause a bounds error, as it looks as if it'd be
executed even if parameter_tree is null, in which case the
proto_tree_add_item() calls will just return without fetching anything from the
tvbuff. (That's why the buildbot bug I fixed with a similar change only showed
up when I ran TShark *without* -V - *with* -v, proto_tree_add_item() actually
fetched data from the tvbuff and threw a bounds error when it went past the end
of the packet, but without it (and without any display/read filter or color
filter or anything else that required building a protocol tree or even just
fetching protocol field values), nothing was fetched and no exceptions were
thrown.
