Thanks again for your opinions.
I shall dump the SIP traffic to get a better idea of what's actually
happening to the call flow and where the fork is initiated.
To Kumaran, I am planning to upgrade to the latest stable release in a
few weeks, andwhen I do I will certainly test the same situation
again.

Since I am using the FS version bundled with SipXECS, upgrading FS
might too alter this behaviour.

Strange how using FS more heavily is such a rare choice, since it's
effectively bundled with SipXECS and it already functions as a core
component.
I chose to employ it as a SBC since sipXbridge is, inevitably, far
less malleable and customisable. In a smallish environment that can be
quite an issue.

I'll be back with more details and refer to the FS mailing lists if necessary.

Regards,
Fulvio Scapin
