OK, I didn't really understand the log message, but when I looked at
proto.c patch, things got clearer.
And here's the feedback:
- what's your motivation behind that patch? (just curious)
- In your patch you mixed to things: tvb_get_bits and a
  proto_tree_add_bits. Pease don't do that. It makes this function
  behave differently from all other proto_tree_add_ functions. Also, the
  tvb_get_ function is missing. If you *really* think that mixing these
  two functions makes sense, then all existing functions (and their
  uses) should be modified to behave similarly, just to stay consistent.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
