asterisk users - Mar 2004 - chan_iax2.c:5309 socket_read: Received mini frame before first full voice frame

I'm trying to call my * box via iaxtel to diagnose my previous problem 
(see earlier email today) and I get the following message spewing to my 
console:

Mar 16 22:10:52 WARNING[9226]: chan_iax2.c:5309 socket_read: Received 
mini frame before first full voice frame


It looks like this problem has been reported before (from July 2003 and 
January 2004) but it has never been resolved.  Is this a known issue or 
am I doing something wrong?  There shouldn't be any technical reasons 
that I cannot call from * to the same * via iaxtel, right?

* version: Asterisk CVS-03/16/04-22:05:56 (just built to try to 
alleviate this and another problem)

Could be simple packet loss, the first frame (the full frame) gets loss 
and retransmitted but in the mean time, the second frame (a mini frame) 
arrives.

Ok, I found the problem.  The error message is not very descriptive but 
I was able to fix it by playing around.

I had the register line in iax.conf below my peer definitions, and I 
seem to remember that it needs to be in the global section.  I'm not 
sure I was successfully registering with iaxtel.  I moved it to the 
global section and everything is working fine now (EXCEPT, I still have 
my original Sipura line 1 problem on incoming calls -- see previous email).

Thanks for the help..
