We were setting reference number of the message to 0 always. Therefore
it is possible that SMSC mixed things up when receiving similar
messages with the same refnum (thanks Daniele for the idea!). Now I
changed it to set random id. Could you try CVS version and say whether
you could reproduce the problem?

take care,
