woha sorry folks,
2) if you're capturing on an interface that does TCP checksum offloading, captured packets that were transmitted by the host running Ethereal will probably *not* have valid TCP checksums - by default, reassembly is *NOT* done on packets with invalid TCP checksums, so you'd have to turn off the "Check the validity of the TCP checksum when possible" preference for TCP, so that Ethereal doesn't check the validity of the TCP checksums. 


stupid error!
I did not turn on the "allow subdissector to dissect" flag! (should have checked the exact value of pinfo->can_desegment) 

thanks and sorry!
