The Contact header in the 200 OK should contain that of the remote side. If
rewrite_contact is set to "yes" it would be the source IP address and port.
If set to "no" it would be the URI provided in the REGISTER. The problem
doesn't ring any bells, but the version is old and my memory of the past
fuzzy so it's possible it was a problem and was subsequently fixed. I also
haven't seen anyone report this in recent times and haven't seen it myself.
