Log:
  Add an if (tree) check to prevent a very-long-but-not-infinite loop,
  since without a tree the proto_tree_add_item calls won't throw an 
exception
  when we run past the end of our TVB which means we could end up 
doing MAX_INT64
  iterations.

FYI: I'm working on some additional fixes;
Among other things, I believe the same fix needs to be applied to 
several other similar loops.
Really what this means, I think, is that bug 3290 needs to be fixed.
