yes, this is due to the fact that we do not check for the request reference.
when your MS transmits the first RACH burst, it selects a particular request
reference. all retransmissions carry the same request reference.
So the BSC should be tracking for which request references it has already
activated a channel, and only assign a new channel if there is not yet
a channel for that request reference.
Since there is no straight-forward way of keeping track of this without
introducing some additional data structures, I simply skipped it when writing
that part of the code.
Of course it should be fixed at some point, and patches are appreciated.
