Hi Olivier,

Thanks for the patch. While this patch is useful to find/filter truncated
frames, I also need: 
      - A field in the packet_info structure to indicate a truncated frame.
        This would be used to detect if reassembly must be attempted at all. 
      - Allow other protocols to set this truncated bit. For example, it maybe 
        that a frame is truncated by the upstream device such as a MDS port
        analyzer adapter and not by libpcap. 

If there is agreement that this is acceptable, uf you'd like to add this, that
is fine or I can do it as well.

Dinesh
