I went looking earlier today for the bug report, its 10058 iirc, and it
seems that the bug itself was more related to 1.2, there were some
questions about 1.4 in there, and I really didnt pay that much attention
after finding it and it was marked closed.

The version specifically I modified was 1.4.15 but I believe that 1.4.17
had the same issues.  Unless there has been work since then on some of
these things then its still the same way.

I also noticed that the note by oej only included one of the 3-4 things
that I noticed werent right.  Anyone can look at this easily with a
packet sniffer and that is how I did it, largely by comparing a working
(cisco) stream to the non-working asterisk one and seeing just what was
different was I able to locate 1 or 2 of the things because it seemed
right (the rfc indicates that it should be the way the cisco was on
those particular things).
