asterisk users - Feb 2004 - Cisco 7960 bug in 6.1 evident in Asterisk

So, I've managed to consistently lock up my Cisco 7960 (SIP 6.1) to 
the point where it needs to be unplugged, due to software errors. 
This is a first.

My suspicions are that this bug in Asterisk is causing the lockups:
   http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000889

It seems unusual to me that a low volume of bogus SIP messages should 
lock up the 7960, but that seems to be the case.   It seems this only 
happens on my 7960 that I have completely full of extensions (all six 
line buttons are lit, two of them are auto-answer.)   I think this is 
one bug tickling another bug; bad messages from * are killing the 
7960.

I'd like anyone else with experiences with this  type of failure with 
Asterisk to give me a shout; I'm going to report this to Cisco 
somehow, but don't have enough evidence.

Question.. is the 7960 on the same subnet as your asterisk server?  I have
a 7960 registered with 3 diffrent asterisk servers.  All 6 lines.  Running
6.1 and has 12 days of uptime.
