Summary:                    Help command in CLI dumps core under Solaris 10 X86
Description: 
I've been trying to get Asterisk 1.4.X running under Solaris 10 x86 with
limited success.

I can build Asterisk and get it started but have run in to a problem with
a segmentation fault with the "help" command in the CLI.

When I start Asterisk:

# ./asterisk -vvvgc

If I type "help"

This problem only seems to occur with the "help" command in the CLI.

gdb shows this:

The segmentation fault is caused by the call to vsnprintf in this function
in utils.c:

int ast_dynamic_str_thread_build_va(struct ast_dynamic_str **buf, size_t
max_len,
       struct ast_threadstorage *ts, int append, const char *fmt, va_list
ap)
{
       int res;
       int offset = (append && (*buf)->len) ? strlen((*buf)->str) : 0;
#if defined(DEBUG_THREADLOCALS)
       struct ast_dynamic_str *old_buf = *buf;
#endif /* defined(DEBUG_THREADLOCALS) */

       res = vsnprintf((*buf)->str + offset, (*buf)->len - offset, fmt,
ap);

       /* Check to see if there was not enough space in the string buffer
to prepare
        * the string.  Also, if a maximum length is present, make sure the
current
        * length is less than the maximum before increasing the size. */
       if ((res + offset + 1) > (*buf)->len && (max_len ? ((*buf)->len <
max_len) : 1)) {
               /* Set the new size of the string buffer to be the size
needed
                * to hold the resulting string (res) plus one byte for
the
                * terminating '\0'.  If this size is greater than the max,
set
                * the new length to be the maximum allowed. */
               if (max_len)
                       (*buf)->len = ((res + offset + 1) < max_len) ? (res
+ offset + 1) : max_len;
               else
                       (*buf)->len = res + offset + 1;

               if (!(*buf = ast_realloc(*buf, (*buf)->len +
sizeof(*(*buf)))))
                       return AST_DYNSTR_BUILD_FAILED;

               if (append)
                       (*buf)->str[offset] = '\0';

               if (ts) {
                       pthread_setspecific(ts->key, *buf);
#if defined(DEBUG_THREADLOCALS)
                       __ast_threadstorage_object_replace(old_buf, *buf,
(*buf)->len + sizeof(*(*buf)));
#endif /* defined(DEBUG_THREADLOCALS) */
               }

               /* va_end() and va_start() must be done before calling
                * vsnprintf() again. */
               return AST_DYNSTR_BUILD_RETRY;
       }

       return res;
}

I think the fault is caused by a NULL pointer somewhere,but I can't
figure-out what's wrong.

Both of those commands do exist. If you don't load the appropriate modules,
then those commands will not exist, but then again, if you don't load the
modules, then they won't show up on the help menu either...
