I'll try it.

The caputered packets show that a 16 byte segment overwrites later data in the
same packet, sometimes even multiple contiguous 16 byte segments.

The corrupted packets look like this:

...ABC....DBBEF..

Each character represents a 16 byte region, the dots are dont-care
placeholders. The BB-region is overwritten by the data of the first
B-region.
