No problem - thanks for the thorough review!

Agreed.

This is to try to get as much billing data recorded as possible before Asterisk shuts down/restarts and that data is lost. Unfortunately, module unloading occurs prior to calling ast_cdr_engine_term, and the CDR backend modules have already unregistered themselves. Thus, while the records are successfully flushed from the system, there are no registered backends left to handle the data.

This would have the side effect of preventing CDR module unloading via the CLI on a busy system - but if you're doing that, you're already losing billing data, so that seems like a very bad idea anyway.
