5862c94 by Guy Harris (guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx):

    In the name of God and all that is holy, don't do that.

    1) There is *NO* guarantee that you can safely dereference a misaligned
    pointer.
    
    2) There is *NO* guarantee that you are running on a little-endian
    machine, so that an attempt to fetch a 32-bit integer through such a
    pointer will fetch it in little-endian form.
    
    Instead, fetch it using tvb_letohl(), which 1) doesn't care about
    alignment and 2) always fetches in little-endian order.
