...although, when you allocate a tvbuff for uncompressed/decrypted data,
if the actual byte array containing the data was mallocated, you'd want
to call "tvb_set_free_cb()" on the tvbuff to which you attach that data,
so that, when the tvbuff is freed, the callback routine will be called,
with a pointer to the real data, and can free the raw data.
