This bug has been a while and since ast_check_hangup bug has been fixed in
1.4.9, I will poke it.

This is probably chanspy's bug since on the same server with chanspy
disabled my Asterisk hasn't crashed once, if I enable chanspy Asterisk will
randomly crash, it can be running for several days without problems or it
will crash several times a day.

I have experienced the problem in Asterisk 1.4.5 1.4.7 1.4.7.1 1.4.8 and
1.4.9 on my HP Proliant ML110 G3 which is a 3.0GHz Dual Core processor.

It's curious since the same versions of Asterisk in my backup server which
is a PIII 1.0GHz with the same load and the same numbers of spies won't
crash, I have waited for it to crash for several days but it just won't.

I am adding a fresh "bt", "bt full" and "thread apply all bt" from my
Asterisk 1.4.9 on my ML110 G3, I don't seem to be able to get a crash from
my backup server.
