As happened with the PAMCAM Handler of Flying Laptop:

There are two Commands in a DH which use the same Reply
The first command was sent
Before the reply was received or a timeout happened the other command was sent
The first command will be stuck forever as the Reply Map was set to the other command.

Note:
The implementation had to overwrite enableReplyInReplyMap to call the default DHB implementation with "useAlternativeId = True". The DHB function does not check if the reply is currently in use.

Implementations can solve this by checking that a command with the same reply is executing before commanding. I think, that the DHB function enableReplyInReplyMap should not overwrite info->command = command; if isExecuting is True.
