I'm not suggesting that t_next_contacts deviates from the README. I'm looking for its specific use case when combined with the outbound module. At the very least, the example registrar configuration here:
http://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/4.4.x/modules/outbound.html is incomplete, in that it will always result in this error when there's only one binding in the registrations table.
I suppose it's just a matter of checking for t_next_contacts() == -1 in the initial fork, and then check for < 0 in subsequent failure routes. I apologize if my original message was unclear, but this was a request for clarification, not a bug report - though I will try to make a PR for the outbound documentation page when I get this working.
Best,
Colin
