[the whole desegmentation problem]

I tried to solve this problem myself, but really wasn't able to...

Is it possible that this is a Wireshark bug (tcp dissector, for
example)? For me, it seems most probable now.

If it isn't a bug, where could I find an example of a correct way to
desegment tcp? I examined tcp_dissect_pdus() source, but it wasn't a
good example: in my case, I don't know the needed number of bytes in
advance; if I knew, there would be no a problem.
