Bug Description

RFC 3095, section 4.4.2 says:

   4.4.2. Bidirectional Optimistic mode -- O-mode

      The Bidirectional Optimistic mode is similar to the Unidirectional
      mode. The difference is that a feedback channel is used to send
      error recovery requests and (optionally) acknowledgments of
      significant context updates from decompressor to compressor (not,
      however, for pure sequence number updates). **Periodic refreshes are
      not used in the Bidirectional Optimistic mode.**

The ROHC library (version 1.6.x included) does periodic refreshes in O-Mode. It should not.
