Currently, a lot of dissectors have null strings for blurbs; should we
allow a null pointer for the blurb, meaning "sorry, nobody's written a
blurb for this field" (which is what a null string means), and add checks 
for a null blurb pointer?
Have a look in the developer's guide, chapter 8.4 "How to reassemble split packets" (Example 8.21. Reassembling fragments - Data), where this code came from. I think code examples from this guide should be valid according to current rules :)
