Olle--

I wish you absolute best of luck in your search for funding. I'm
painfully aware of how stressful such efforts can be.

I'd love to discuss some of the options with you, if you get a free
moment. Until then, I have a few questions:

1. on dialog matching-- if headers and tags are to be used for matching
multiple dialogs with the same callid, how often would this happen in
the course of "normal" activity, and how many such dialogs (with the
same callid) would normally exist; how many **COULD** exist? I'm going
to try to read the sip spec so I can understand the whole dialog
"thing". I'm not looking forward to it.

2. utf-8 in asterisk-- It occurs to me that we switched asterisk to vi
mode instead of emacs mode, utf-8 via the CLI might be easier. The emacs
mode insists on using that high-order bit to indicate stuff like M-x,
etc. The guy who generated libedit never responded to my email; he may
be dead/too busy/at a different email address/etc.

3. on sip destruction-- I have a crash in check_rtp_timeout, and it's
one of those chicken-egg issues; the channel pointer, pvt->owner goes
null while the routine is running. I need to either pull it into pieces
or lock things or... perhaps you might have some advice.
