Re: [Ekiga-list] Ekiga can't receive calls after some time.

[<limousin ntic fr>]

Hi,



An update to my report :

After the problem has occured, ekiga won't quit properly using the quit menu and the systray icon is frozen until the process is killed.





I tried compiling from source : the last stable tarballs went without problem (PTLIB 2.6.1, OPAL 3.6.1, Ekiga 3.2.0) ; I got a gcc internal error with the latest svn/git and couldn't try it.



I confirm that the "can't receive calls after 50 minutes" problem is the same as with the binary packages.





I noticed a strange behaviour in the network traffic dump between Ekiga and the registrars :

- Every 10 seconds, Ekiga sends a few CRLF UDP frames to every SIP registrar. At the bebinning of the session it sends 3 frames to ekiga.net and 2 frames to the other registrar ; after 49 minutes, just before the bug, it sends more than 200 frames every 10 seconds to ekiga.net ! (and still only 2 frames to the other registrar).



- There are several SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY exchanges with ekiga.net. After "The bug", the server keeps sending NOTIFY requests but gets no answer from Ekiga.



- The other registrar sends a "OPTIONS" request every 60 seconds, that is answered by ekiga. After "the bug", the server sends a request per second but gets no answer from Ekiga.





I would be glad if someone could reproduce this behaviour.



The most similar time related issue I could find is Bug 558524, however UI is not completely locked up.
