Any objections to the following fix:

Have a preference in the tcp profile like "show retransmitted frames
as data" with tooltip "Dissecting the same fragment of data twice can disrupt the upper layer dissectors (ssl-decryption for example)". By default this preference will be unchecked to not change the current behavior.

How about something more like "Don't pass retransmitted fragments..." to make it clearer the effect of setting the option?

(BTW I would think it should actually be defaulted to on.)
