I'm using ekiga 2.0.11 as shipped with ubuntu gutsy.  If I run:

> ekiga -d 6 -c sip:17474743246 proxy01 sipphone com

I get a successful connection to the gizmo echo service.  The debug
output says:

When I click on the icon next to the phone number, it disconnects, and
the log says:

So far, everything is great.

However, if I then try to make another call, by running the same
command again, or typing a sip url into the box at the top of the
window and clicking on the call button, or selecting Call -> Call from
the menu, no connection is made.  The log says:

2008/02/07 04:28:25.635   0:22.997           OnRelease:b2422210 GMSIPEndpoint    SIP connection released

The general history window says:

04:28:25 Calling sip:17474743246 proxy01 sipphone com
04:28:25 Abnormal call termination

Looking at tcpdump, I see some DNS traffic, but no SIP traffic at all.

Having to restart ekiga every time I need to make a call is going to
be a real drag.  What am I doing wrong, and how do I make ekiga work
correctly for outbound sip calls?

Thanks!
