Do you have chan_sip keeping track of device state?  By default, it
doesn't keep track of device state, as that takes extra CPU cycles.  You
can turn it on for a particular SIP user/peer/friend by setting
"call-limit=99" (or some other reasonable level) in Asterisk 1.4 or
"callcounter=yes" on Asterisk 1.6.0 or later.

You may also need to investigate "limitonpeer=yes" in Asterisk 1.4
and/or "counteronpeer=yes" in Asterisk 1.6.0 and later.
