[asterisk-dev] Note from my tests - reinvites crashes asterisk 1.4 again

[Olle E. Johansson]

Friends,

While being happy over the good results from my Asterisk Dragster  
tests, I forgot the bad part.

The test was very simple - I looped a call around three Asterisk  
servers, a lab I've been running in many trainings.  Server one calls  
100 in server two that calls 101 in server three that calls 102 in  
server one - up to a certain level where a server answers.

For a long time, this worked with canreinvites in 1.4. This time,  
having reinvites turned on caused really bad things to happen. Ghost  
calls, calls to phones that wasn't involved - all AFTER hangup of the  
original call. It was no fun and I had to end it all with a kill -9.

This means that the recent fixes for 491 replies in 1.4 is broken and  
needs further work. If I get some time, I'll try to set up a  
controlled lab with a few laptops and try to trace what happens and  
open an issue with traces. Hopefully, someone on the list with some  
spare time can test yourself and report.

Maybe we can discuss this on a developer call? Well, I forgot, we  
haven't got those any more. Darn.

Take a note of it and try to test, keep an eye of the reinvites so we  
can kill all these issues once and for all.

Have a nice weekend!
