Hmmm... it goes straight from CLOSE to RETRY. RETRY does an
immediate retry as you might expect. Really it is used to
retry a failed dial. Now CLOSE goes to RETRY if no_redial_delay
is set to 1 which happens when the remote end drops a link
that diald considered UP. I _think_ (and bear in mind that
I've been down with flu for a couple of days and what I'm
doing hardly qualifies as thought right now :-( ), I _think_
that the intention is to bypass the redial delay which normally
happens as part of CLOSE - if the remote end is wrong and we
have outgoing packets we want to go ahead and redial fast.
Which leads me to suspect that the following patch should
fix the problem:
