It can find out if it's happening in the same frame by checking
"pinfo->fd->num".  The trick is remembering the frame number in such a
way that stale remembered data gets discarded.

We might also want an option to display *multiple* lines in the summary
pane for a single frame; that could come in handy if

	1) you wanted to see the summary lines at *more than one
	   protocol layer* (e.g., TCP and some protocol above it);

	2) you wanted a summary line for every higher-level PDU in a TCP
	   segment - or in some other lower-level protocol.
