Bug: The Pcap transmitter thread sends too many packets.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Pcap transmitter thread sends too many packets. This happens when a stream 
is composed by a Packet Set that spans multiple `PacketSequence`s and the 
number of packets to be transmitted is equal or greater than two-times the 
Packet Set cardinality.

This is because the transmitter thread loops on the Packet Set, then it moves 
to the next PacketSequence (that has been already transmitted) instead of the 
next Packet Set.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the stream attached

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: 25500 packets sent
Actual: 37429 packets sent

37429 = 2*(821*15+435) + 821*14 + 435

What version and revision of the product are you using (available in the
