Check out the CDR configuration.  I do my CDR via MySQL and I don't think
that does buffering, but I know for sure the normal CSV format (and standard
configuration file) has options for buffering before saving.  I can't really
think how that would change recieving the CDR information during a call, but
it's possible something along those lines.  I'm making it up really since
the more I think about it the less that sounds possible.  But search the
documentation on the CDR or maybe ask the Asterisk Dev group about when the
CDR fields get filled.  It might even be possible that CDR infromation isn't
accessable untill the line has been answered and that's the delay.

What is the channel type to the remote site?  IAX, SIP, analog?  I've seen
alarm systems that pick up analog lines they're attached to if thre are back
to back calls.  That's the best I can come up with there.  Maybe someone
else has a better idea.
