APAR status

• Closed as program error.

  already a final response sent. This is not true - the response
  was a "407 Proxy Authentication Required" for the PRACK, and
  not a final response.

  and does not accept another PRACK after this point
  

Problem conclusion

• A PRACK can now be proxied after a challenge response.
