[OpenSER-Users] OpenSER Sending INVITE Twice!?

It may also be related to the timer accuracy of OpenSER 1.1

If the T1 interval is 500ms but OpenSER 1.1 doesn't support sub-second
timer accuracy it is probable to see it retransmitting in situations
where T1 hasn't been reached yet
It shouldn't cause any problems though, just a few erroneous retransmits
from time to time
