Wow, I thought that bug had been fixed (literally) years ago.

Is this at the top of the output, or randomly inside the stream at 
the beginning of a new line?  How many lines does it take before this 
symptom shows itself?  (I have about 20 sip peers in my installation, 
but I don't see this line clipping symptom.)

Can you put more detail of this into a bug on Mantis?  Seems like 
something reasonably important for those people who are looking for 
very lightweight interactions with * that don't involve writing 
something to talk to the Manager.  I didn't see anything on a cursory 
inspection, but I don't know what keywords I might have to use, so my 
apologies if this is already in there.

Anyway, to refresh this thread: I think the idea of dialplan actions 
on IAX/SIP registrations/un-registrations is a good idea, and fits 
the Asterisk motto of "More Than One Way To Do It."  Hopefully Chris 
Icide will find someone to create the patch and submit it.  :-)
