Summary:                    Using "loose" option for "joinempty" and/or
"leavewhenempty" settings causes severe Asterisk issues
Description: 
We started using this option today and have run into two separate issues
when using it:

1) We received countless registration-related errors immediately upon
reloading our config such as the following:

[2011-04-29 12:11:54] NOTICE[2255]: chan_sip.c:23511
handle_request_register: Registration from '<sip:2143@[REMOVED]>' failed
for '192.168.202.79:5060' - No matching peer found
[2011-04-29 12:11:55] NOTICE[2255]: chan_sip.c:23511
handle_request_register: Registration from '<sip:2216@[REMOVED]>' failed
for '192.168.202.76:5060' - No matching peer found
[2011-04-29 12:11:55] NOTICE[2255]: chan_sip.c:23511
handle_request_register: Registration from '<sip:2216@[REMOVED]>' failed
for '192.168.202.76:5060' - No matching peer found

It appears as though parts of our config, such as sip_additional.conf,
wasn't loaded, causing registrations from remote devices to fail. Upon
reverting back to using the "no" option for joinempty and leavewhenempty,
these errors went away.

2) A second time that we tried changing these settings, we experienced an
Asterisk crash a little later. We aren't able to find much information in
terms of errors, but we did see a huge spike on our SNMP graphs that
monitor server load and we were dropped out of our "asterisk -r" sessions.

We are using FreePBX. We added the "loose" option to the FreePBX interface
manually, allowing FreePBX to write this option out to the Asterisk
configuration files, which our version of Asterisk supports.

We do have a core dump file from last Friday's incident, however, our
compiler flags were not set to the proper values. I will see what we can do
in the way of producing a core file with these flags set.
