Created an attachment (id=6044)

Capture file containing ICMP echo request/reply packets.

With the attached patch, all ICMP echo requests/replies are successfully
tracked except for 4 pairs in frames:
  1) 39 <--> 42
  2) 45 <--> 47
  3) 51 <--> 53
  4) 57 <--> 59

I have not been able to figure out why those 4 pairs do not track like the
rest.  Any ideas?

Some notes about the capture file:
In order to better test the conversation tracking changes, I have multiple
pings going on simultaneously in both directions between a Windows PC and a
Linux PC.  The Windows PC is 192.168.4.3 and the Linux PC is 192.168.4.1.  A
ping session was initiated on the Windows PC at a cygwin prompt.  That can be
seen with id=0x2c12.  Pings from the Windows cmd prompt will always carry
id=0x0300, every time pings are started (which I left at the default of 3 pings
per command).  The rest of the pings all come from the Linux PC and the id
varies each time a ping session is started (because Linux sticks the process id
of the ping process into that field.)

All 4 of the problematic frames identified above are from the Windows cmd ping.
 If the cygwin pings are filtered out, then conversations seem to track fine.
