Wow, the sad part is this particular bug comment sat in my inbox for the
longest time because I knew I needed to read it but I really didn't want to
come back to this bug--I didn't even notice you had specifically asked me
something.  <sigh> and sorry.

Anyway, I checked in part of Didier's patch (attachment 2849 [details]) in r49644: this
should fix the problem in proto_tree_add_item().  I'll leave working on the
other APIs until this isn't shown to blow things up.  As mentioned in the
checkin comment, I'm not sure about back-porting this stuff.  We'll have to
think about it...

The above fix combined with the fix in r49645 fix the RPC-based-dissector bug
mentioned in comment 16 (and bug 8728).
