In

	new_offset = tvb_skip_wsp(tvb, offset + (strlen("VF") + 1), -1);

one of the values - the return value of strlen() - is size_t, which isn't necessarily gint or guint (or, as Mountain Lion's autocorrect would have it, "hint or guilt" :-)), as it's 64-bit in most if not all 64-bit C implementations (including MSVC when compiling 64-bit).

I'd make it "(gint)strlen("VF")" (and then I might make it "(sizeof "VF" - 1)", for the benefit of compilers that don't do that for you at compile time).
