tvb_get_string() - takes a tvbuff, an offset, and a length as
arguments, allocates a buffer big enough to hold a string with
the specified number of bytes plus an added null terminator
(i.e., length+1), copies the specified number of bytes from the
tvbuff, at the specified offset, to that buffer and puts in a
null terminator, and returns a pointer to that buffer (or throws
an exception before allocating the buffer if that many bytes
aren't available in the tvbuff);
tvb_get_stringz() - takes a tvbuff, an offset, and a pointer to
a "gint" as arguments, gets the size of the null-terminated
string starting at the specified offset in the tvbuff (throwing
an exception if the null terminator isn't found), allocates a
buffer big enough to hold that string, copies the string to that
buffer, and returns a pointer to that buffer and stores the
length of the string (including the terminating null) in the
variable pointed to by the "gint" pointer.
Replace many pieces of code allocating a buffer and copying a string
with calls to "tvb_get_string()" (for one thing, "tvb_get_string()"
doesn't require you to remember that the argument to
"tvb_get_nstringz0()" is the size of the buffer into which you're
copying the string, which might be the length of the string to be copied
*plus 1*).
Don't use fixed-length buffers for null-terminated strings (even if the
code that generates those packets has a #define to limit the length of
the string). Use "tvb_get_stringz()", instead.
In some cases where a value is fetched but is only used to pass an
argument to a "proto_tree_add_XXX" routine, use "proto_tree_add_item()"
instead.

something to the protocol tree or the columns, as that leaves crud in
the protocol tree that could mess up whatever stuff subsequent
dissection code does with the packet.
Get rid of all column-setting code before the initial sanity checking
code, and have that code just return FALSE rather than putting
"Malformed FIX Packet" indications (if the dissector returns FALSE, it's
saying the packet *isn't* a FIX packet, not that it is one but that it's
malformed). After we've set the columns and created the protocol tree,
return TRUE if we find a problem (we should put an error indication
there in that case).

throwing an exception, if the bytes to be compared aren't available in
the tvbuff, we don't need to check for their existence before calling
those routines.

Things can happen if we pass a zero buffer length to tvb_get_nstringz0().
Throw an exception if this happens.
In various dissectors make sure the tvb_get_nstringz0()'s buffer length
is greater than zero.

where necessary to reflect the new behavior.
