Well, looking at it in more detail, the idea of adding an expert info to show
the malformed-ness of the packet won't work: the function where the problem
happens doesn't have any proto_items to attach the expert info to (and the
function is generated by asn2wrs and passes through packet-ber.c so adding them
would be a significant change).

We could put in checks to substitute "(null)" when the string pointers are null
or throw an exception.  The former allows the packet dissection to continue but
it makes it hard for a user to know there's anything wrong, the latter is the
opposite.
