Smack 4.4.0-alpha2: OmemoManager.init occasionally throws NoResponseException before the request stanza is sent

During the aTalk testing, I occasionally observe that OmemManager.initialize throws NoResponseException even before the request stanza is being sent (7 seconds prior to sending request stanza in this case, see below debug log).

Is that possible that the smack reply timer is started while the preparation of the 100 prekeys are still in progress, which know to take some time?

Also on working cases, I observed that the turn around time for the server to response to prekey pubsub is around 8 seconds on my home server. The 10S smack reply time set by aTalk seems not to have too much margin.
