Thank you! I've been in C# for too many years. I'll try that when I get back to my desk.

fwrite(extracted, sizeof(extracted), 1, file)

extracted is a pointer so sizeof(extracted) is the size of pointers on
your platform. Often 4 on 32-bit platforms and 8 on 64-bit.

You need something like this :
fwrite(extracted, tvb_get_length(tvb, 0), 1, file)
