 This makes tcp reassembly work for out-of-order segments
Reassembly might also the way to handle out-of-order TCP segments in general - if, for example, you get segment [M2,M3) followed by segment [M1,M2) (M1 < M2 < M3 - i.e., [M2,M3) is an out-of-order segment), if reassembly is enabled we might reassemble the two segments and hand the reassembled [M1,M3) segment to the subdissector.
