Sorry, further investigation shown that this particular problem was
caused by the typo in our fix for hashing function (one found in 0.8.10
didn't bother to strip insignificant chars from call-id and cseq number).
I've fixed that and the problem gone.
However, we have another problem with ACK matching. The problem is that
we are using propiertary module which queries billing engine via Radius
and uses its replies to rewrite URI. Since it isn't practical to run
that query on each request received, we are only performing it on
INVITEs, which is fine as long as the next hop is always B2BUA that
only cares about method URI in INVITE requests and ignores it in any
subsequent requests. The typical sequence looks like the following:
1. ATA->SER:
INVITE xyz(a)foo.bar
2. SER->BILLING
please expand xyz
3. BILLING->SER
xyz expands to 123456
4. SER->B2BUA (t_relay_to())
INVITE 123456(a)foo.bar
Everything is fine when INVITE transaction ends with a 200 OK, in this
case ATA generates ACK to acknowelege 200 OK using information from
that 200 OK, i.e. `ACK 123456(a)foo.bar'#39;, not `ACK xyz(a)foo.bar'#39;. The problem
happens if transaction ends with 4xx error, or is cancelled by the
originating party, in this case ATA acknoweleges receipt of final negative
response with `ACK xyz(a)foo.bar' so that tm module is unable to match ACK
to original INVITE.
Do you have any ideas how to properly solve this problem without
introducing steps (2) and (3) above for every ACK request as well?
It would be inacceptable for us since each BILLING query means
extra database access, therefore is puting extra load on the system
and degrading its performance (normal call involves 2 ACKs, so that
there would be 3 db accesses instead of 1).
I think that it should be possible to resolve the problem by modifying
tm module to match ACKs for non-200 replies to original uri in INVITE
instead to rewriten one. What do you think? Is there any potential
problems with this approach?

Maxim,
neither did I find a reason why the ACK is not matched. I might be
wrong but my guess is that it is a config issue -- are you sure it
enters t_relay in your script?

Folks,
I found that in the stateful mode, SER is having troubles matching
ACKs to negative replies when Vovida B2BUA (1.5.0) is used as one
UA, while Cisco ATA 186 as another one. Following is a dump of the
session illustrating the problem. As you can see, SER keeps
retransmiting 480, despite receiving properly formed ACKs. Does
anybody have any ideas what the problem might be?

P.S. I am also seeing in the logs the following warnings:
