          <p>Callbacks, when the callback module is unknown (undefined),
            results in warning messages. </p>
          <p>A race condition scenario. As part of a cancelation operation,
            replies with waiting acknowledgements is cancelled. This includes
            informing the user (via a call to the handle_trans_ack callback
            function). It is possible that at this point the connection data
            has been removed, which makes it impossible for megaco to
            perform this operation, resulting in the warning message. The
            solution is to also store the callback module with the other
            reply information, to be used when cleaning up after a
            cancelation. </p>
