Please see my posts from a few days back in which a fix is suggested
for the TLLI mismatch. I had similar problems and they were solved
after applying that patch. The problem, as far as I found it, is that
SGSN is translating the foreign TLLI to a local TLLI (which is fine),
but later on rechecks the foreign TLLI for existence (which is not
fine, because the local variant exists). In my patch I convert all
TLLI to local before doing a check so previously created local TLLI's
are matched to the correlated foreign TLLI.
