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.

  Fixes https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8312

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.
