Mark,

	I don't know whether it is a big in libiax2 or a bug in the calling 
code, because there's no documentation on how it is _supposed_ to work. 
  It can be fixed in either side, however.

	To summarize, in the case of regular calls, the libiax2 seems to be 
pretty good about handling sessions on it's own.  My client code needs 
to also keep track of them, but never to destroy them.  In the case of 
sessions used for registration, however, it appears that the session 
should be destroyed once a registration reply (ack or rej) is received. 
  Currently it is not, and what seems to be happening is that the remote 
asterisk server seems to be re-using the callno/dcallno that refer to 
that session, and the client library sees these new packets as being 
out-of-order packets from the previous session.

	Currently, Steven Sokol has a fix for this which just calls 
iax_destroy from the iaxclient library when we receive a registration 
reply.  This is fine, but it is different than the way that sessions 
are handled in other cases.  (we never call iax_destroy anywhere else). 
  The alternative would be to fix it in libiax2, so that libiax2 
destroys the session when the registration replies are seen.
