Does the TCP reassembly work on out-of-order packets?
For example, in a capture I have, here are the rel. sequence numbers:
Packet 1: Seq.: 1528 (next 2127), Ack: 203
Packet 2: Seq. 76 (next 1528), Ack: 203

It is part of SSL negotiation (Server Hello from the iTunes server, actually), that Ethereal fails to dissect properly - it recognizes part of the Server Hello on packet 2, but not that packet 1 is the continuation of it.
