I guess it is the master branch, but I'm totally new to git, so it must be a default thing.

But this means that your HTC needs more relevant GPRS settings before deciding to register. So it than searches for altenatives, but since the BA list is empty it starts all over again and the whole process repeats, which might result in a long procedure before it gives up. This is what it might could be the reason, I'm not sure. Also that the HTC (and maybe other PDA phones) makes a distinction between BSS with GPRS support and BTS without GPRS support for its own selection behaviour. With GPRS support there is another step before registering process, while without GPRS support that step is skipped. Nice challenge to figure that out.
