I was recently assigned this issue and I have tried several times to
reproduce it myself, as well as analyze the code to see if there is any
obvious fault. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to detect what
Asterisk is doing wrong, if anything at all.

The problem is that the crash happens deep within the glibc glob function,
so it is not obvious at all whether Asterisk is actually causing the
crash.

So I have a few questions to ask with regards to this issue.

1) Is this still happening for you? To be more specific, does this still
happen when using the latest 1.4 version?

2) If it is, then is this reliably reproducible for you? The backtrace
isn't really enough to solve this issue; however, I suspect that if the
issue were to be reproduced while running Asterisk under Valgrind, we may
get some insight into what sort of memory accesses are causing the
segmentation fault to occur. See doc/valgrind.txt for information on how to
run Asterisk under valgrind.
