In addition to what I wrote yesterday. This is also violating the
principle of the least surprise and in fact breaks the error handling
release.


Before:
The "effect" rsl_release_request could be observed after the event loop
has been reached (only then we will parse the result from the BTS).

Your patch:
* RLL indication for the release is missing for the NokiaBTS (that is
  an issue and should be resolved by moving the sapi handling code out
  of the RSL_MT_REL_IND case into a method)
* You directly call rsl_handle_release and can get ahead of itself. This
  is a problem for:


	if (deact_sacch == SACCH_DEACTIVATE)
        	rsl_deact_sacch(lchan);
        rsl_release_sapis_from(lchan, 0, RSL_REL_LOCAL_END);
                        
        /* TODO: start T3109 now. */
        rsl_lchan_set_state(lchan, LCHAN_S_REL_ERR);

So with your change rsl_handle_release will be called when lchan->state
is not set to LCHAN_S_REL_ERR yet.
