The auth fails because the nonce can only be responded to once...  When a retransmission comes in check_auth() sees that the nonce has already been responded to and issues a new challenge. I don't think this is correct behavior.  In the case of a retransmit the current nonce probably shouldn't be treated as a stale nonce.
