This has been fixed by splitting rule 3. The full machine and set of rules is as
follows:

   The processing rules are as follows:

   Rule 1:

   pass message to transport layer
   (re)start NoActivity timer
   (re)start SendHello

   Rule 2:

   pass message to Node-SM
   (re)start NoActivity timer

   Rule 3:

   if reply requested
     send MA-Hello
     restart SendHello timer

   Rule 4:

   send MA-Hello message
   restart SendHello timer

   Rule 5:  queue message for later transmission

   Rule 6:

   pass outstanding queued messages to transport layer
   stop any timers controlling connection establishment
   start NoActivity timer
   start SendHello timer

   Rule 7:

   stop NoActivity timer
   stop SendHello timer
   start NoHello timer

   Rule 8:  destroy self

   Rule 9:

   if reply requested
     send MA-Hello
   restart NoHello timer
