Comment # 3 on bug 8533 from 
I took another look at this, and it's actually quite complicated to solve. The
problems are several-fold:

- We don't have any semantic way to properly track multiple PDUs in a single
higher-level frame. This is a deep, long-standing architectural issue that
comes up frequently, but nobody has ever found a good solution for.

- The middle SCTP chunk doesn't even have an "Error-Message" AVP. The AVP is
not "present-but-empty", it's not present at all.

Without solving the first problem (which I like to think of as "semantic
reassembly") I don't think there is any way for us to print the appropriate
extra delimiters at all. We need to be able to count or iterate the sub-frames
somehow, which just isn't possible at the moment.
