Looking at the retry handling in rc_send_server() in sendserver.c, it appears that "retries" actually means "tries". ...
Indeed.
I think the fix is simply to change the line to:
if (retries++ >= retry_max)
Unfortunately many many systems are deployed with the previous semantics, so I think it'd be better to simply document the behavior. Alternatively, a new keyword to implement the new semantics, with a log warning about the old keyword being deprecated. -frank
