[asterisk-users] Phones dropping registration, but asterisk thinks phones are still registered

[Darrick Hartman]

There were some serious issues with some of the earlier 1.4.x Asterisk 
releases.  You say it's a production server and can't upgrade because of 
that.  That is the one reason why you should upgrade.  There are 
security risks with certain versions and some serious bugs that were 
fixed.  While I can't say that the problem with "go away" with an 
upgrade, you'll get better support if you are running a more recent version.
