asterisk users - May 2010 - Cause and cure for "Exceptionally long voice queue length queuing to Local"?

Hello,

We're seeing lots of warnings like the following, running Asterisk
1.6.1.12. Does anyone know the cause or cure?

One explanation I've come across is that the peer is congested and
sending RTCP messages asking us to slow the RTP down. Is there any way
we can verify this?

[May 17 13:42:45] WARNING[27482] channel.c: Exceptionally long voice
queue length queuing to Local/12126412121 at asterisk-phone-7e3d;1

Thanks in advance!

Try upgrading to 1.6.1.13. You're using a version of Asterisk from early 
December 2009. Doing a search for closed issues on the Asterisk issue tracker at
https://issues.asterisk.org caused me to find bug 15609 
(https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=15609) which was committed on December 
30, 2009.

On January 11, 2010, Asterisk version 1.6.1.13-rc1 was created which contains 
the commit from December 30, 2009, and was subsequently released as 1.6.1.13 on 
January 15, 2010.

The ChangeLog showing the commit is here:
