We would avoid one meaningless parameter ;)

As a bonus, you could reflect values of this static counter in the logging output,
instead of counting the amount of allocated transactions manually.

Ok, I see. What about this?

  LOG_RAN_CONN_CAT(t->conn, DCC, LOGL_DEBUG, "Connection assigned to transaction\n");

Off-topic: Now I think that we need something like LOG_TRANS and LOG_TRANS_CAT() for transactions.

Actually, your test case behaves differently from the code.
You won't see any existing code parts, which *intentionally
use same callref* for new transactions. Despite potentially
this may happen (e.g. triggered by external MNCC / EUSE).

So, I don't ask you to fix trans_alloc(), I ask you not to use
the same callref value for multiple transactions.

Yes, and this is what I would like to see in this (or in a
subsequent) change. Please illustrate the current behavior
(e.g. in a separate test_trans_callref function) by allocating
a few transactions with same callref, and print some warning
until trans_alloc() is fixed.
