Summary: Hang due to "no more nonces can be generated"

Initial Comment:
We've just had OpenSIPS 1.4.2 stop processing SIP packets and effectively hang. During this time, it logged the following many times to /var/log/daemon.log:

ERROR:auth:build_auth_hf: no more nonces can be generated
ERROR:auth:challenge: failed to generate nonce

Restarting OpenSIPS has temporarily cured it, but I expect the problem will come back.

What is the number of authentication requests you expect to have per
