Before this change tshark only supported a single scan over the file. This effectively means that packets cannot use data that are gathered from frames that appear after the current frame. By scanning twice we give the dissector the opportunity to make forward references.

How about we generalize this to -Pn hvor 'n' can be any number? This 
would allow us to do some basic memleak testing by setting 'n' to a 
large value.
