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.

Problem seems to have been unrelated to loose option. Please close ticket.
Thanks for your help!
