I'm inferring from the dissector code that the protocol does run-length
encoding of a sequence of nulls.  Given that, and given that the run length can
be Really Big, the right way to fix this is probably to run-length encode a
sequence of nulls in the protocol tree, i.e. instead of expanding the sequence
with one protocol tree entry per null, just show an "N null{s}" item.

I've checked that in as revision 39210, along with some other sanity checks.

There should also be checks, before subtracting values from "count", that
what's being subtracted is <= "count", so I'm not closing the bug yet.
