Thanks for the patch with the suggested fixes !
You've obviously spent some time looking at and understanding the tvbuff code.
That being said, upon spending some time looking at the tvbuff.c code myself, I
came to the conclusion that maybe it's not really necessary to keep
usage_counts & used_in lists at all given the way Wireshark uses tvbuffs.
If so, then the code can be simplified and we don't have to go thru contortions
to try to get everything correct.
I've posted an Email in wireshark-dev and attached a revised version of
tvbuff.c and etc which implement my ideas.

If you have time to look at the code, any comments are welcome.
