Summary:                    Seg Fault on Transfer with IAX/iLBC
Description: 
Hello,

We recently in our process of upgrading asterisk have run into serious
problems. Our environment is as follows:

Asterisk clusters spread across three countries. IAX trunking is done
between each office. Running CentOS 4.7 and Asterisk 1.4.26.

We have for the longest time used iLBC as the codec between the offices,
and wish to continue, however, we are experiencing seg faults with it. See
https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=13116, as we are having the exact
same issues, but the patch in this post is already in our code.

When using jitter buffer, with iLBC and Mixmonitor we have seg faults when
a user tries to transfer the call to another party within the office. A
example call is as follows:

1. Call comes into our system in one office, and is trunked via IAX to
another office.
2. Call gets recorded using MixMonitor(with audiohook_inherit), and enters
a queue.
3. Call is answered by one of our staff. If the call is completed with
that one agent we are fine, however, if that agent needs to transfer it to
another person Asterisk seg faults and dumps it's core.

I have run gdb against the core, and am posting it here, also before
testing this I turned up SIP/IAX/Core debugging within the CLI. I've also
attached that output.

We normally use a RPM version of Asterisk that we package ourselves,
however, I'm able to reproduce this from source at will. If I remove the
option for jitterbuffer, or not record the call, or change the codec I
don't get the seg faults at all. However, we need them in place or else the
phone quality goes down the tubes.

Okay I have to apologize to Mark, I made a mistake when going through the
revisions. It turns out the bug was introduced in revision 201450 of 1.4,
not what I previously stated.

I was running through so many revisions that I mixed myself up. Here is
the info from the ChangeLog:

2009-06-17 19:59 +0000 [r201450]  Mark Michelson <mmichelson at digium.com>

	* main/channel.c: Change the datastore traversal in
	  ast_do_masquerade to use a safe list traversal. It is possible
	  for datastore fixup functions to remove the datastore from the
	  list and free it. In particular, the queue_transfer_fixup in
	  app_queue does this. While I don't yet know of this causing any
	  crashes, it certainly could. Found while discussing a separate
	  issue with Brian Degenhardt.
