Hi,

Hi,
I checked in the stream part I had to do some changes to make it compile
under Windows can you check that I didn't break anything.

yup, that seems fine. Sorry again for overlooking these - it's quite hard to spot them with a compiler that doesn't complain :(.

However, I've spotted a bug in the new desegmentation in iax2, which means that higher-level PDUs aren't dissected when they ought to be, but tend to be grouped together in later packets - I've attached a patch against svn r16110 to fix this; it also makes the code a bit clearer...

Thanks very much for your help with this, Anders. Just so we're on the same page, here's a list of files which I think still need patching in svn.
