Ah no, I see the problem with that. The issue is that the iax2 dissector 
must first mark a pdu as complete, then pass it to a higher-level 
dissector, which may in turn decide that the pdu was incomplete; so we 
must have the ability to unmark a pdu as complete.

You can't do this with fragment_add_seq_next(), because it moves 
complete PDUs to a separate hash table.

I'll work on a fix for the existing logic.
