Yeah, I think this is a bug - Can you show me the code that's running?

I think the bug is in the RPC mechanism vs the ! variant, unfortunately
I don't have a box with *both* freeswitch and erlang on it handy at the
moment - can you write a simple daemon that waits for the get_pid
messages and spawns on demand, as described on the wiki, and see if it
works that way (that's the way I usually do it).

Thanks,
