Summary:                    crash when calling ao2_unlock inside
pthread_timer_disable_continuous - NOT FIXED PLEASE RE-OPEN
Description: 
See https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=15915.  We are also experiencing
this issue.  Asterisk 1.6.1.6.

Bug has been closed because Digium thinks it is a compiler bug.  Quote
tilghman:

"As it turns out, the "@plt" is a dead giveaway as to the source of this
problem. This is a problem in the compiler/linker tools for your platform.
Please report this issue upstream to the package maintainers of your
distribution environment. This is NOT a bug in Asterisk, but a compiler (or
linker) bug."

This is clearly not the case.  By the time the bug is hit (at load of
around 200 calls) ao2_unlock has already been called thousands if not
millions of times.  The dynamic linker is not entered subsequently.  There
is no evidence of a linker problem.

In all likelihood, Asterisk is trashing the PLT itself via a bad pointer.

Please re-open https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=15915 and fix.
