 reassemble.c:
I had to change the way the reassemble code works if the dissector is telling that more fragments *will* follow. 

That assumes that fragments arrive in order.

They don't always do so.
For example, the fragments of a fragmented IP datagram might well arrive in *reverse* order; I have a capture where that happens. (I seem to remember a claim that some version of Linux sent IP fragments out in reverse order.)
