I've just looked at this. I don't think it's a bug. The "once_repeat"
setting specifies "send another reply after this much time". However, a
setting of "0s" means "never send another reply" (0 is equal to
infinity). This is the default setting.
So, if one reply has been sent, if you change once_repeat to 0s, no
further replies are sent.
If you always want to send replies, you should not set the "once" option
at all.
I will try to improve the wording in the manual; I can see that it's got
a bit confusing after various additions.
