I've seen several bugs that end up in the same error. Those bugs are mostly
caused by lazy subdissectors calculating the length of the actual data. The
function that ties to highlight those bytes in the data frame have not a
sufficiant check of the actual length available.

This bug addresses the stability of those callbacks regardless the lazyness of
current or future subdissectors.
