Yeah, those calls to tvb_get_ptr() gotta go.  The loops could easily be
rewritten to use the standard accessor functions (tvb_get_*).

Other comments along the way:
- DISSECTOR_ASSERT_NOT_REACHED is really meant for things that aren't supposed
to ever happen (bugs in the dissector).  Here it's being used just because
something unexpected came off the wire.  A better thing to do here would be to
add an Expert Info saying the message is malformed and return.

- there's an awful lot of append_text()'s in here.  Adding text means that the
fields are not filterable, which is not a good thing.  It's better to use
add_item() (ideally) or at least add the fields using proto_tree_add_xxx().

- Has this passed fuzz testing? We'll need a sample capture before we can check
it in.
