Comment # 2 on bug 8352 from
I finally got around to debugging this.

An MPEG2-TS packet that contains a section has a pointer_field. This field
contains the offset to the start of the section. If pointer_field>0, the packet
contains the final fragment of something else, followed by the start of the
section. In this case, a fragment should be added.

If pointer_field==0, the section starts right after the pointer_field. There's
no point in adding a fragment. The mp2t dissector added an empty fragment. This
caused an assert during reassembly.

r52969 should fix this. Hopefully, this covers all cases.
