[SR-Users] Possible bug in authentication

[Klaus Darilion]

The Route URI (sent by SBC) must be identical to the Record-Route URI 
(inserted by Kamailio).

To find out why loose_route returns FALSE increase log-level. 
loose_route uses the "ismyself" function to evaluate if the Route header 
addresses this Kamailio server. And the "ismyself" is very verbose when 
doing this check.

Klaus
