Hmm, I don't know about that. Typically it's better to let the dissector read
off the end of the TVB and throw an exception (indicating a malformed packet if
it reads past the reported end of the TVB or "packet truncated during
capturing" if it reads past the end of what was captured--e.g., if a snaplen
was used while capturing).  Why does that need to be done in this dissector?

On an unrelated note: the asn1/c1222/Makefile.* changes don't reflect the
current trunk's way of doing things (that changed recently).  That needs to be
changed (by either you or the committer before checkin).
