John,

We have been unable to confirm your bug report and as there haven't been any 
confirmation reports I'm lowering the severity to important as this problem 
doesn't "rendering it completely unusable to everyone".

Can you confirm you still have this issue with the latest release of 
asterisk-1.2.7.1.

Unless we can confirm these reports with moreinfo then we shall close the bug 
as unreproducible.

Thanks,
Mark
