Hi Bogdan,
thank you for following my issue.
I installed it from source non tls.
I just read the Changelog in the 1.2.1 source and found that some memory 
leak were fixed, but doesn't seems to me that are related to my issue.
Anyway was my intention to put up the 1.2.1 version (let me know if is 
better from source or svn) and look at what will happen.
Only before i want to make the debugging to let you  be able to identify 
the problem.
As i told in my orevious email i'm almost sure that it is related to the 
wrong REGISTER packet that i receive from one of my test equipments.
I saw that more or less one day and halp after this requests started i 
got the problem. After the first time it happened again after the same 
amount of time.
Theoretically it should happen today again.
Let me know if you need any other data to debug the problem.
Thanks,
Bye,
Marcello
