[asterisk-users] What can make G.729a codec hostid change?

[Barry Miller]

After upgrading my small test system from Debian Etch->Lenny via a
complete reinstall, I find my g729 hostid has changed.  Same machine,
same CPU, same NIC!  It doesn't seem reasonable that I have to burn
my one "no-hassle" re-registration for a simple OS upgrade.

The README only says that hostid is based on MAC addresses of all NICs,
but that doesn't seem to be true.  Does anyone know anything else that
might cause g729 to compute a different hostid?

Console output follows:
