Greetings,
I have upgraded to Redhat 5.1, including mgetty-voice-1.1.14-2.i386.rpm.
I found now that incoming messages were cut off after 60 seconds
when the watchdog timer expired.
I "fixed" the problem by putting a long timeout.

Before I go further (without doumentation), is this a known problem?

Should the watchdog be running during recording?
Should something be resetting it?
