I eventually figured it out.

I was calling the tcp_dissect_pdus like this

	if (tree) /* we are being asked for details */
	{
			tcp_dissect_pdus(tvb, pinfo, tree, TRUE, 20,
                     get_foo_message_len, dissect_foo_message);
	}

When I remove the if tree it is working. So I moved the if tree test to
the dissect_foo_message.
