So now I'm replying to myself.  There is one more interesting piece 
of the puzzle. All 4 of the calls were terminated by something other 
than the caller, i.e. in the middle of the call they just hung 
up.  Now my calls to Australia have done this for ages, at 30 minutes 
they just hang up and I've never figured out why, but before 10 days 
ago, they didn't make the provider think the call was still active. 
The two calls that had this problem most recently were both 
disconnected at exactly 20 minutes but billed at 12 hours and minutes.
