This is not the correct fix.

Since "fax show sessions" is showing two duplicate sessions, it means that =
somehow fax_session_new() is being called twice for the same session. This =
results in the session being added to the container twice. Your fix ensures=
 that duplicate fax sessions cannot be added to the container, but it does =
not fix other memory leaks that are present. For instance, a fax_session's =
channame, debug_info, and chan_uniqueid fields will be overwritten without =
first being freed if fax_session_new() is called with the same fax session =
more than once. =


In order to fix this properly, you first need to determine why fax_session_=
new() is being called more than once for the same fax session. From there, =
there are two possible fixes:
1) Being able to call fax_session_new() on the same fax session more than o=
nce is an error. If it is, then prevent the scenario from happening in the =
first place.
2) If calling fax_session_new() on the same fax session more than once is a=
ctually the correct thing to do, then fax_session_new() needs to be modifie=
d to get rid of any possible memory leaks, not just the duplicate container=
 entries.

the session being added to the container twice. Your fix ensures that duplicate fax \
sessions cannot be added to the container, but it does not fix other memory leaks \

fax session of two sessions for each call in &quot;fax show sessions&quot; when the \
gateway is used.

by digging into code i have found that the original session object is linked into the \
