Summary:                    res_snmp.so  hangs asterisk at startup
Description: 
Running Asterisk-1.4.18 (from ATrpms.net) on Fedora 8 x86_64, I see the
following issue:

At bootup or when I issue a "service asterisk restart" (init.d), Asterisk
hangs when loading res_snmp.so and Asterisk must be killed with -s 9

However, if i add a "noload => res_snmp.so" to modules.conf, let Asterisk
startup and then do "asterisk -rx"module load res_snmp.so"", it works just
fine, loads and connects to snmpd.

I have the agent configured as a sub agent and run asterisk as user and
group "asterisk".

[general]
subagent = yes
enabled = yes

I used to see this issue occur randomly on a separate, but identically
configured i386 machine.  Now, the i386 machine has no problem loading
res_snmp.so at startup, but the x86_64 does.

I do not get any useful info from debug: the last line before I must kill
asterisk is always:

DEBUG[5560] config.c: Parsing /etc/asterisk/res_snmp.conf

I currently have two systems, and i386 and an x86_64, both in production. I
do not have a test environment.  Unfortuntely, I've had enough problems
with the DTMF changes, that are reported to be set fixed in what will be
zaptel 1.4.10.

Those issues are keeping me using asterisk 1.4.17 on x86_64 and asterisk
1.4.18 on i386.

I am not able to do any testing or re-compiling at this time.  My current
workaround is to have a noload => res_snmp.so then manually issue a module
load res_snmp.so after asterisk is started (which works perfectly, though
is obviously less than optimal).

I wish I could be more help at this time, but I'll have to wait to
stabilize and update these systems prior to messing with this.

I am also working to procure a system that I can use for testing.
