I will look at you changes. They will require some extra modifications,
e.g. for the other API (Java, .NET etc). Which operating system and
software do you use with QuickFIX?

If we include such a feature, we should make it configurable. What are 
the exact problems with ResendRequests? Beginning with 1.6.0, QF uses 
ResendRequest to Infinity. This shall fix some race conditions (and 
infinite loops) occured with 1.5.0. We also have some issues on 
ResendRequest still to be fixed in 1.6.0. Could you give the latest 
version (1.6.0) a try and tell me whether is solves your 500 message 
problem?

Cheers, Jörg

P.S. I Cc:'ed the developers list since such issues are of interest to
      the other developers, too. So please send your message to this list
      everytime it is appropriate. Thanks!
