Reproducing it is part of the problem. I've been getting user reports on and
off for some time but I can't find anything out of the ordinary - initially
this was looking like a Voicemail bug as many people were getting cut off
while leaving messages. How would I debug the precise drop condition? I've
Googled for more information on 'iax2 debug' but come up naught.

Is 'jitterbuffer=no' not sufficent to clobber that function?
