[SR-Users] parse_from_header(): bad From header

Hi community. We experience the problem with malformed messages. First of all, I want to say, that most of time kamailio works well and nothing happens that can drop sessions. But from time-to-time something changes (may be in the network) and kamailio receives requests with malformed headers (To or From hfs). The schema: uplinks -> kamailio <-> routing server (asterisk) Malformed messages were received only from asterisk server. Sip debug on asterisk showed that messages were transmitted correctly and headers were nice. But kamailio obtains changed (broken) packets or perhaps can't read them properly. How does it look like: Nov 10 12:37:06 kamailio-name kamailio[965]: INFO: <script>: Going to NATMANAGE for BYE from sip:useragent7122@kamailio_address:5068 (IP=wss:client_address:62881) - R=sip:dialed_did_service@asterisk_address:50600 ID=1b0044070de406153bf0e4b84d6bb793@asterisk_address:50600 Nov 10 12:37:06 kamailio-name kamailio[965]: NOTICE: <script>: Relaying request to <null> - R=sip:dialed_did_service@asterisk_address:50600 ID=1b0044070de406153bf0e4b84d6bb793@asterisk_address:50600 Nov 10 12:37:06 kamailio-name kamailio[965]: ERROR: <core> [parser/parse_addr_spec.c:719]: parse_addr_spec(): unexpected char [<] in status 6: [<sip:useragent6] .
