Hi,

What RTP timer are you using? I remember having a similar issue with timerfd some time ago, it disappeared when I changed to soft timer.
The pass_rfc2833 option also helped.

I'm leaning toward these being a "weird" DTMF packet and not a FreeSWITCH issue, but I'm curious if anyone has encountered a similar problem, or has advice of what we could test on the FS side.
