The mail message you cite said
YES! The message means that TCP handed of the dissection to a higher
layer protocol dissector. This dissector told the TCP dissector to
collect multiple TCP segment to construct one PDU. If all goes well,
the packet that contains the lasat part of the application PDU will
have full dissection of the application protocol. If this does
not happen, please file a bug on http://bugs.wireshark.org and
attach the capture file of that particular tcp session.
Not *all* occurrences of "TCP segment of a reassembled PDU" are errors.
Eventually, there should be a final TCP segment, so that, as indicated, "If all
goes well, the packet that contains the last part of the application PDU will
have full dissection of the application protocol." If that happens, there is
no bug, it's just that your capture has a lot of higher-level messages that
require more than more than one TCP segment. If that *doesn't* happen - i.e.,
if there's a sequence of "TCP segment of a reassembled PDU" without a
reassembled PDU at the end - *that* might be a bug, or it might be that not all
of the TCP segments are in the capture, and, as indicated we'd need the capture
file so that we can see what's happening.
