Summary:                    problem handling race condition - reINVITE before
ACK
Description: 
Hi! 

Asterisk has problems handling incoming reINVITE if the ACK of the
incoming INVITE is still missing. Although this a pssobile scenario, e.g:

client   proxy     Asterisk
  --INV--->
           ----INV----->
           <---200 ok---
  <-200 ok-
  --ACK--->
  -reINV-->
            --reINV----->
            --ACK------->

This is a scearion which can really happen, e.g. as the processing of the
ACK in the proxy may takes more time. It can also happen without proxy (an
packet can overtake another packet).

The problem is:
1. Asterisk does not accept the reINVITE but sends 491 request pending
Sending 491 is only allowed if the request is in a pending state. But as
the request is finished (200 is already sent) there can not be 491. The
proper solution would be to accept the reINVITE - as this reINVITE is an
implicit ACK to the previous INVITE. Receiving the reINVITE means, that the
caller has received the 200 ok.

2. Asterisk does not accept the ACK to the 491, it goes on resending the
491.

3. My client then tries to reINVITE again, which is accepted by Asterisk.
But then, if the call is hang up from the other side (in this case DHADI),
Asterisk does not send BYE

It happends with pedantic= yes and no.

Hi! Scenario in section 3.1.5 does have initial offer/answer in 200OK/ACK.
Thus, 491 is used.

In my scenario the initial offer/answer is in INVITE/200ok which is
handled in section 3.1.4
