The assert in question,
/* Assert that the finfo is related to a protocol, not a field. */
g_assert(finfo->hfinfo->parent == -1);
makes sure that all the nodes at the top level are protocol nodes.
Have you attached a field node directly to the top proto_tree?

I believe hfindex, your field or protocol, is not initialized.
