dear holger,

is it already fixed? how can i test it? running "make check" does not
cause any failure. (i use zecke/features/clean-up branch)

this means that our receive array contains blocks from 55 to 59...

as we received block 60, our receive array contains blocks from 55 to 60
now. in your code i can see that
"gprs_rlc_ul_window::raise_v_q(gprs_rlc_v_n *v_n)" is called. since
there is no debugging that shows something like "- Taking block 55 out,
raising V(Q) to 56", i assume that the if-condition "if
(!v_n->is_received(v_q()))" is positive. this means that v_n.state(55)
is not 'R'...

so i would expect that there is no 'R' at position last but 5 in this
debug string, but there is one.

is there a way to reproduce this? you said "So as soon as we don't
receive a frame from the UL. The send window at the phone and the PCU is
going out of sync.". does this mean that it can be reproduced by
dropping one frame on the uplink? (e.g. dropping frame with BSN 55 once.)

best regards,

andreas
