Well if you compare the amount of PDUs in the TCP tree and in the PROTO tree,
without the patch you'd have 7 PDUs + 118 Bytes remaining data (which is
obviously wrong) and with the patch you'll have 6 PDUs + 118 Bytes of data
which is exactly what is in the packet and in the prototree.

That's why I've chosen to keep the uncomplete PDU away from the TCP tree as it
is (by default) in the PROTO tree.

Cheers
