Yes. It clearly happened here:

static void
check_coarse_timers_dowork (struct context *c)
{
  const struct timeval save = c->c2.timeval;
  c->c2.timeval.tv_sec = BIG_TIMEOUT;
  c->c2.timeval.tv_usec = 0;
  process_coarse_timers (c);
  c->c2.coarse_timer_wakeup = now + c->c2.timeval.tv_sec;

  msg (D_INTERVAL, "TIMER: coarse timer wakeup %d seconds", (int) 
c->c2.timeval.tv_sec);

  /* Is the coarse timeout NOT the earliest one? */
  if (c->c2.timeval.tv_sec > save.tv_sec)
    c->c2.timeval = save;
}

I can see that TIMER: ... message with 1 year worth of seconds printed.
Obviosly, process_coarse_timers (c) did not do it's job.
I instrumented it this way now:


process_coarse_timers (struct context *c)
{
#ifdef USE_CRYPTO
  /* flush current packet-id to file once per 60
     seconds if --replay-persist was specified */
  check_packet_id_persist_flush (c);
  msg(D_PING, "PING: process_coarse_timers 1 tv=t=%ld", 
(long)c->c2.timeval.tv_sec);
#endif

  /* process connection establishment items */
  check_connection_established (c);
  msg(D_PING, "PING: process_coarse_timers 2 tv=t=%ld", 
(long)c->c2.timeval.tv_sec);

#if P2MP
  /* see if we should send a push_request in response to --pull */
  check_push_request (c);
  msg(D_PING, "PING: process_coarse_timers 3 tv=t=%ld", 
(long)c->c2.timeval.tv_sec);
#endif

  /* process --route options */
  check_add_routes (c);
  msg(D_PING, "PING: process_coarse_timers 4 tv=t=%ld", 
(long)c->c2.timeval.tv_sec);

  /* possibly exit due to --inactive */
  check_inactivity_timeout (c);
  msg(D_PING, "PING: process_coarse_timers 5 tv=t=%ld", 
(long)c->c2.timeval.tv_sec);
  if (c->sig->signal_received)
    return;

  /* restart if ping not received */
  check_ping_restart (c);
  msg(D_PING, "PING: process_coarse_timers 6 tv=t=%ld", 
(long)c->c2.timeval.tv_sec);
  if (c->sig->signal_received)
    return;

  /* Should we send an OCC_REQUEST message? */
  check_send_occ_req (c);
  msg(D_PING, "PING: process_coarse_timers 7 tv=t=%ld", 
(long)c->c2.timeval.tv_sec);

  /* Should we send an MTU load test? */
  check_send_occ_load_test (c);
  msg(D_PING, "PING: process_coarse_timers 8 tv=t=%ld", 
(long)c->c2.timeval.tv_sec);

  /* Should we ping the remote? */
  check_ping_send (c);
  msg(D_PING, "PING: process_coarse_timers 9 tv=t=%ld", 
(long)c->c2.timeval.tv_sec);
}


Output:

        okay, check_ping_send (c) have done it's job.

        BOOM!

For your reference:

static inline void
check_ping_send (struct context *c)
{
  void check_ping_send_dowork (struct context *c);
  if (!c->options.ping_send_timeout) { msg (D_PING, "PING: 
!c->options.ping_send_timeout"); return; }
  if (c->c2.to_link.len) { msg (D_PING, "PING: c->c2.to_link.len <> 0"); 
return; }
  if (!event_timeout_trigger (&c->c2.ping_send_interval, &c->c2.timeval))
    { msg (D_PING, "PING: 
!event_timeout_trigger(%ld,%ld)",(long)(c->c2.ping_send_interval.last), 
(long)c->c2.timeval.tv_sec); return; }
    check_ping_send_dowork (c);
}

"if (c->c2.to_link.len)" case does not set timeout as it ought to do.

Is my analysis right?
