asterisk users - Nov 2008 - tired of "midget packet received" warnings

Hi,

When monitoring an asterisk through its iax2 port I get these warnings
at the console:

	[Nov  6 13:15:15] WARNING[2209]: chan_iax2.c:7000 socket_process: midget packet
received (1 of 4 min)

This is triggered by the monitoring app sending a POKE to the iax port.
The warning appears even without any '-v'.

Is there a way to avoid these warnings? Or at least turn them off when
at the console in non-verbose mode?

Thanks,

Your monitoring app is not sending valid IAX2 packets to the server. If
it was sending a true IAX2 POKE, it would be a valid packet and wouldn't
generate this warning.

I would have thought logging to syslog and using the filter functions 
there would have been considerably easier than recompiling a patched 
version of Asterisk - particularly if precompiled versions are in use.
