Log:
 Bug 3597 - implicit octet string that is constructed causes PRES/FTAM dissect failure
 
 Introduced some state to remember last dissected Tag/Length so that they can be recalled if an IMPLICIT tag is 
encountered and stripped. This allows its to be determined if the value has a constructed value - and so can be 
reassembled.
 
 In this case, it is a IMPLICIT constructed OCTET STRING at the presentation layer.
 
 Many thanks to Fred Gruman for identifying - and apologies for the delay in commiting.

This breaks the ANSI TCAP dissector.  It now complains "BER Error: 
OctetString expected but class:CONTEXT(2) primitive tag:21 was 
unexpected" and then the packet is marked as unreassembled.

I'm afraid I don't understand this stuff well enough to attempt a fix. 
Can someone take a look?  A sample capture that shows the problem can be 
found on the SampleCaptures page:
