Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] SCCP reassembly broken for duplicateded SCTP messages.

Hi,
SCCP reassembly will add both segments from duplicated packets thus producing garbage in the reassembled packet.
An "easy" fix could perhaps bee to add a flag in pinfo "duplicate" or "suspected duplicate" and ignore such frames in reassembly, possibly the
Dissector doing reassembly could have a preference wether to use the flag or not - thoughts?
 
There is a similar bug in the TCP reassembly causing it to not show the reassembled packet.
1 0.000000 10.80.79.132 10.62.180.97 TCP [TCP segment of a reassembled PDU]
2 0.000004 10.80.79.132 10.62.180.97 TCP [TCP segment of a reassembled PDU]
3 0.238283 10.80.79.132 10.62.180.97 TCP [TCP Retransmission] [TCP segment of a reassembled PDU]
4 0.716280 10.80.79.132 10.62.180.97 TCP [TCP Retransmission] [TCP segment of a reassembled PDU]
 
 
Best regards
