The problem in 17680 has been worked on a couple of times and I believe the issue is not actually in chan_skinny, although it seems easiest to trigger from that channel. I had thought that the problem described in 17692 had also been put to rest, but the more I think about it, I seem to remember a potential fix was deferred pending a re-write of the subchannel handling code. I'll dig around in my archives to see if I can find my old patches for either of these. > I'm not an Asterisk developer but am happy to spend some time this > week resolving the problems.
