Murf, thank you so much for your patience to answer this thread with  
so many information and share your thoughts. That's exactly I was  
looking for (it helped me A LOT). I wasn't looking for a quick fix,  
really. I just didn't understand the current state of CDR storaging  
in Asterisk and now I'm pretty confortable with it. Not because it  
"sucks" or something or it "works" for me, but because now I  
understand the problems of it.

Although it's bad news for some (including me, regarding this  
attended transfer situation), I think everybody knows now what to  
expect and what is possible to accomplish. Do you believe it would  
worth to collect some real CDR data to analyze and sort out the  
actual "bugs" in 1.4 code? Is it possible to simulate it with  
perfection or would you like users to send you in their public data?

Sincerely,
