call and "via"

Hi folks,

Running 2.0.34 with ax25-utils-2.1.42a and patch from ax25-module-14h, it
seems that a weird thing happens when using call and "via".

Example: call port1 f6xyz f5abc

It calls in AX25 station f6xyz on port port1 via station f5abc. If you run
listen utility at the same time, you will see that the TX led of your TNC
(if there is one) won't light at TX (i.e. you are not transmitting on
air) and that RX frames are marked DAMA on the listen screen. The
beginning of connection and then a few packets are ok before it gets
weird.
Call utility is performing well without a via node.

I was using a KPC9612+ 9600 Bds port with serial line at 19.2 KBds
(16550A), a Cyrix 486DX4/100 CPU and 16 Mo RAM.

Did someone notice the same things ?
