You are right I missed that in the README.  

One thing I noticed was if you ended up with %s (ala fuzztest) in the
buffer when you call proto_tree_add_text it will seg fault because of
the call to g_vsnprintf under the covers can't handle a %s with a NULL
buffer.  So I escaped that if it occurs which seems to fix the problem.
Is there a better way to guard against this?  See

Please perform some fuzz testing. This is likely to crash the code:
None(?) of the value_strings are properly terminated {0, NULL}

Also, please add the standard header to all the source files.

I haven't looked at the code, just skimmed over the beginnings of the
patch.

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