Hi!

Thanks for your feedback. Seems like a bug indeed. Could you please make 
a ticket via https://osmocom.org/projects/openggsn/issues/new 
(registration sould be quick and easy if you don't have one yet).

Would be great if you could share more details in the ticket as well:

- your configs

- how to trigger this error indication reliably

- any spec. reference for proper behavior

- whatever else you think is relevant
