It’s hard to know what’s happening without some kind of trace or logging
data, but this sounds like it should be easy to fix.

Can you run your test under callgrind and send me the logs please?
        G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all NICE_DEBUG=all valgrind --tool=callgrind
        --callgrind-out-file=callgrind.log /path/to/test/program &>
        libnice.log

That should result in callgrind.log and libnice.log.

Thanks,
Philip
