Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Reassembly Lengths

[Evan Huus <eapache@xxxxxxxxx>]

Does anybody know why reassembling n packets each of payload-length m
might result in a reassembled packet of length less than n*m?

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8717

Removing the use of tvb_get_ptr would `fix` the problem in that it
would just throw an exception rather than blowing up, but that doesn't
explain why the reassembled packet seems too short in the first
place...

Thanks,
Evan
