<p><a href="https://github.com/bogdan-iancu" class="user-mention">@bogdan-iancu</a> - thanks for the help.  I'm able to reproduce this problem fairly easily.</p>

<p>CPU usage of opensips doesn't exceed 2% during these events.</p>

<p>The command spawns three opensipsctl processes, so I debugged the first. Here's the backtrace result I was able to return (the process killed itself shortly thereafter)</p>
