I had to restart the Asterisk which suffered from the problem, and the
problem isn't happening right now.

It may have been caused by the fact that I had a lot of lines in
sip.conf like this (because of a bug in a provisioning system):

register => 4520147920:password@/4520147920

That is, the ip address or host name was missing. It's a bit of a random
guess, but the problem hasn't appeared again.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for the hints for how to debug this! If it
happens again, I'll be sure to try them.
