Summary:                    Unable to use iLBC codec under virtual machine (nor
Xen, nor VMWare)
Description: 
I'm running Asterisk (as test machines) under various virtual
environnements and am having the same problem under every virtual
environnement I tried.
I had this problem with Asterisk 1.4 before but did not bother mentionning
because I did not want to use the iLBC codec at that time. I think this
issue started when the iLBC source code went out-of-tree.

I'm running a Ubuntu 32-bit guest in a 64-bit server, this one is running
under VMWare Server on Linux.

If I try to run Asterisk with the iLBC codec enabled (with the contrib
script downloading/extracting the source from the online RFC) it segfaults.
I'm currently testing it with asterisk-trunk.

I can successfully start asterisk if I add a noload directive in the
modules.conf configuration file, but I'm missing the ilbc codec in the
supported translations report.

In "additionnal informations", I have the gdb stacktrace (bt) of my core
dump file.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
So LIBVPB was installed as a dependency when my test machine first was
installed with 1.4.17 from the Ubuntu repositories.
I since upgraded it to svn-trunk by hand.
I did not un-select chan_vpb in menuselect, so I'm unselecting it now just
so I know if this is what breaks my setup.

This might not be related to my test machines running on any
virtualization engine afterall, it might only be bad luck because the
asterisk server that I have on a dedicated machine does not have this vpb
package installed.
