[OpenSIPS-Users] Error with Dialog module causing crash

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Dan,

I tend to agree with you on this. The primary and initial purpose of the 
dialog module is to monitor dialogs (and not necessary to sent in-dialog 
request).
So, as time the elements required to identify the dialog are valid, the 
module should keep monitoring the dialog.

Regards,
Bogdan
