This has been requested before, but has not been implemented to date in
Wireshark.  A workaround you can use is to use a linked list from GLib
(which has a nice easy interface to them) and store that in the per
packet info.  Each item in your list would correspond to a different
PDU.

One of us should get around to implementing per-pdu packet info in
Wireshark itself.  It wouldn't be too difficult.  All we need is spare
time :)
