[Asterisk-Users] SIP Channels

Yes.  Bug #55, but I'm sure there are other diseases lingering in SIP 
that might cause the same issue.  If you send a SIP BYE message to 
Asterisk, it will create a channel and wait forever.

soft hangup SIP<tab for list>

I think everyone would be very interested to hear how you did this.
