Description

See http://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/waypoints-are-cyclically-re-requested-by-copter-on-sitl/16200
It append when Mavproxy is used as a proxy.

To reproduce the bug, use launch SITL. Connect APMplanner or another GCS, create a mission, write the mission and see mavproxy flood with "re-requesting WPs [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]"

Probably related to https://github.com/ArduPilot/MAVProxy/commit/b7765a019224274796c389ad97606a62e463e968 ?

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with SITL, MAVProxy, and a GCS by creating and writing a mission, then observe the repeated waypoint requests. Start by reviewing the linked MAVProxy commit b7765a019224274796c389ad97606a62e463e968 and the waypoint-request handling it changed. Done means mission upload completes without cyclic re-requesting of the waypoints.
