I just got bitten by this auto update pushing 5679EX on me.
I spent hours to figure out that 5679EX will segfault when trying to register with TCP services. So I have to use Obi expert to turn off auto update (you can't do it on the web interface on the box itself, obitalk will override it. But obi expert will override obitalk.) and flash 5463EX to it.
Why are you using TCP instead of UDP? The large majority of ITSPs use UDP.

I verified on my device that both Google Voice (SP1) and CallCentric (SP2) are set to use UDP. I didn't change them from the default settings that were populated when I added the services from the portal.

The provider I am using uses TCP only. It is my internet provider and I don't know why they do that. They don't publicly reveal that information and force you to use their app. I figured that out by reverse engineering. In any case I don't have much choice.

@PatrickLi, that's interesting. How do you know that the firmware caused a segfault, what was the symptom? Did your device reboot? I've been having issues with random reboots recently and haven't been able figure out the root cause. When it reboots, there is no reason code associated with it. See my post here: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=12842.0
It seems to reboot every 2-3 days. I've also noticed that when it reboots, the rest of network freezes and no other devices on the network can connect to the internet, obviously not desirable. I wonder if it's related to the segfault that you identified. I would love to hear more about what you found.
My OBi doesn't reboot much. If a segfault happens it will run in "safe mode" and not running any services, including the NTP client that updates the time. You can only see these information when setting it to send logs to a syslog server.

If using an app, TCP is the better option because it helps conserve cell battery life.
