Compiled (64-bit) with GLib 2.48.1, with libpcap, with libz 1.2.8, with POSIX
capabilities (Linux), with libnl 3, without SMI, with c-ares 1.11.0, without
Lua, without Python, with GnuTLS 3.4.13, with Gcrypt 1.7.1, with MIT Kerberos,
with GeoIP.

Running on Linux 4.6.2-1-ARCH, with locale en_US.utf8, with libpcap version
1.7.4, with libz 1.2.8.

This issue was uncovered with AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/)

The attached sample evokes a divide-by-zero error in the dissect_pbb_tlvblock() function at packet-packetbb.c:289.

The variable of interest seems to be 'c' which is set at packet-packetbb.c:285 using two other variables and an addition. When c is zero, the expression "length/c" at packet-packetbb.c:289 results in a divide-by-zero error.

Divide-by-zero has been observed when sample is parsed by tshark versions 1.12.8, 1.12.9, 1.12.10, 1.12.12, and 2.0.4 among others.
