[Serusers] handle_publish crashes in PA

[sip]

Okay... I'll admit, this isn't the most recent PA module, but I thought
someone might have a hint nonetheless. 

I'm running SER 0.9.6. I do NOT wish to upgrade to the somewhat haphazard
presence snapshot as it's not entirely in stable/usable condition yet. I was,
however, under the impression that simple PUBLISH/SUBSCRIBE methods would work
okay on this version of the module. Am I mistaken? 

Usual stuff in the ser.cfg

if(method=="SUBSCRIBE")
{
        if(!t_newtran())
        {
                log(1, "SUBSCRIBE newtran error\n");
                sl_reply_error();
        };
        handle_subscription("registrar");
        break;
};
if(method=="PUBLISH")
{
       if(!t_newtran())
       {
               log(1, "PUBLISH newtran error\n");
               sl_reply_error();
       };
       handle_publish("registrar");
       break;
};



When my Snom phone sends a publish, it looks like this:

U 66.112.115.10:2057 -> 66.112.115.34:5060
PUBLISH sip:11019552444 at my.domain.com:5060 SIP/2.0.
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 66.112.115.10:2057;branch=z9hG4bK-nc00a965o8y5;rport.
From: "Death" <sip:11019552444 at my.domain.com:5060>;tag=o6bezw24ge.
To: "Death" <sip:11019552444 at my.domain.com:5060>.
Call-ID: 3c267063afc8-19wbm3ssr4y3 at snom190.
CSeq: 1 PUBLISH.
Max-Forwards: 70.
Event: proxy-config.
Content-Type: application/text.
Content-Length: 0.
.



It sends this (with slightly different From: tags) 9 times and then ser
coredumps without a word to the log. 


Any ideas? Give up presence for now and just tell my users to get over it? :)
