I'm looking at this again, and I'm trying do determine how to enhance the test 
case [2] to reproduce what I'm seeing. 

My question is, I have all of the data in pcap format, so I can extract the 
chunks, what is the best way to feed this through.
Do I decompress it all and write it all at once through the stream?
Or is this going to matter based on what order the chunks got written in.
