Thank you for testing! Well that seems to be a serious problem. In
principle that happens under XP as well. I applied a hack, letting the C
library clean up a bit, which works under XP but apparently no longer
under Vista. I just try to unwind Ekiga's threads on exit. Of a maximum
of 15 threads there are 11 still active when I try to exit. One of them
is orphaned in that the parent has allready been closed and it seems to
own a device. I will get there, stay tuned for another try.

I think that Ekiga's stun works rather well. Also Ekiga registers with
ekiga.net without a problem. My problems start when making a call for
the first time. Perhaps Ekiga still thinks it has to deal with a port
restricted NAT as tested with the sever, whereas the router has decided
to become a cone NAT. I have a situation comparable to two SIP clients
behind a NAT router, only that the router is one of these clients
itself. Under normal conditions, I think, nobody has to worry about
Ekiga's STUN and NAT capabilities at the moment.
