Hal,

But if the original trap had retries > 0, wouldn't resending the trap be what 
the issuer intended?

I guess I'm confused why treating BUSY as similar to simply never getting a 
response at all is a bad thing. In my mind, receiving a BUSY response is like 
getting a busy signal when you call someone on the phone - a sign you need to 
wait a bit then try again. Similarly, if I call someone and never get an answer 
my strategy is going to be to wait, then try again.

Mike,

I'm referring to the receipt of the TrapRepress with busy status.
Wouldn't your patch cause the original Trap to be resent when retries
> 0 ? TrapRepress is essentially a response to Trap and classified as
such by ib_response_mad. Your proposed patch treats a busy as a
timeout and can cause retry of the original sent Trap.
