[Serusers] 'subst' on multiple lines - wackiness (and possible bug ensues?

I'm using 'subst' in multiline mode - basically using it to rewrite a 
'Refer-To' header based on the contents of the 'Contact' header.
However, if I do that, it looks like all the default processing that 
occurs on the message (specifically, the addition of a 'Via' header), 
gets tacked on to the end of the message.  It almost looks like all the 
changes that were made to the message end up in a buffer that gets 
appended to the end of the message, and *not* as part of the message.


In the example below, I just used the following to generate the error 
condition
subst('/(.*)5100(.*)/\15100aptela\2/si');

And yes, I know that the above doesnt need the 's' flag.  Its just that 
i've distilled my ridiculously complex 'subst' expressiond down to the 
above really simple expression which still causes the error below.


So, the question is, is this actually supposed to work?  Anyone ever 
actually tried this out? 

e.g.
incoming packet is (note that th "Refer-To" line sez 'sip:5100 at ...'.  
This will get changed to sip:5100aptela at ...
