Comment # 4 on bug 11134 from 
So how are you supposed to handle packets which don't have any data? The
dissector generated by idl2wrs has a start_dissecting function that is called
for all packets. This calls proto_tree_add_item which is throwing an exception
because the data part of the packet is zero length. That exception causes
"Malformed packet" errors in the dissected list, which is wrong as there is no
error in the data.

If my fix is wrong, then I need someone with more knowledge of the code to say
how it should be fixed.

Currently this bit of the released code is broken.
