I'm writing a dissector on top of TCP that requires desegmenting. 
Desegmenting is enabled (tcp.desegment_tcp_streams: TRUE), but 
whenever my dissector is called pinfo->can_desegment is always zero. 
So, I believe my desegment_offset and desegment_len information is 
being ignored by TCP. Do I need to enable desegmenting anywhere else?

This protocol doesn't have a header, and the packets are started by 
one control byte and finished by another (0xC0 and 0xC1 
incidentally).

Please cc me in your reply. Many thanks,
Shaun
