Assuming that one does not use "Request-Disposition: no-cancel" and
there are no race conditions, the UAC can receive only one 4xx for each
INVITE it sends out.  Successive re-sends of the INVITE may receive
multiple 407 responses, as different proxies may demand credentials for
different realms.  (Although it's unlikely in practice that the UAC will
need credentials for more than one realm.)  Similarly, successive
re-sends of the INVITE could receive multiple 401 responses, if the
INVITEs go to different destinations that demand credentials for
different realms.
