In get_field_hex_value/write_pdml_field_hex_value, if fi->ds_tvb is NULL,
tvb_length_remaining() will raise an assertion when called with the NULL TVB.  

One solution is to check if fi->ds_tvb is NULL before calling.  Another is to
update dissectors so ds_tvb is never NULL.  I found this bug using an XDMCP
PCAP.  The NULL ds_tvb is created in packet-xdmcp.c, line 331.  There may be
similar issues in packet-kerberos.c and packet-spnego.c.
