this is a different story and indeed it also needs a fix - I agree on this..

As said, it is not error, but it is wired :D...

it is not about using or releasing the transaction - it is about the

(instead of having opensips retransmitting the last sent reply - as per 
RFC -, nothing will happen with the current approach)
