No one from Digium will log on to your machine. If you need more
dedicated support than what the mailing list provides, I suggest you
look for someone who is willing to provide technical support for your
systems [1].

First, what version of Asterisk are you running? There has been at
least one RTP port leak that was fixed in chan_pjsip that was fixed in
12.4.0 [2]. If you aren't running that version of Asterisk, please
upgrade and test again.

However, if you *are* running 12.4.0 or later, then please open an
issue in the issue tracker - https://issues.asterisk.org/jira.
However, since this may be a file descriptor leak, there are some
additional build options you will need to enable in Asterisk.

1. Run make menuselect
2. Select DEBUG_FD_LEAKS in "Compiler Flags"
3. Save, exit, and re-build Asterisk

Run Asterisk and reproduce the problem. When you have reproduced the
problem, provide the following on your issue:
* The dialplan that reproduces the problem (which is in this e-mail,
but needs to be attached as a .conf file on the issue for the
developers who look at it)
* Your pjsip.conf
* A FULL debug log illustrating the problem. Instructions on getting
such a log are on the wiki [3]
* Execute the CLI command 'core show fd'. This will dump out all
allocated file descriptors. Attach the output of the command to the
issue as well
