Summary:                    app_fax doesn't receive fax with T.38
Description: 
When I try to receive a fax from a provider that supports T.38 using
ReceiveFAX() provided by app_fax.so, the fax transmission ends prematurely
with an error.

What happens (according to Kevin Fleming) is this:

"In this call, Asterisk sent a re-INVITE to T.38 mode
from audio mode, the provider accepted it, and then Asterisk
acknowledged it. Immediately afterwards, Asterisk sent a re-INVITE
*back* to audio mode, which the provider accepted (and included T.38
capabilities in their response). Because of this, the FAX reception
process failed since the T.38 session was destroyed."

something went wrong with T.38 negotiation. app_fax.c receives messed up
t38parameters structure:
t38parameters = {
    request_response = 2793090424, version = 135113997, max_ifp =
136490996, rate = AST_T38_RATE_2400, rate_management = 2793090472,
fill_bit_removal = 0, transcoding_mmr = 0, transcoding_jbig = 1}

request_response can by no means be what it is, the same goes for version,
max_ifp and rate_management. meanwhile rate, fill_bit_removal and both
transcoding parameters are correct.

this all looks a bit weird to me, like memory corruption or something..
just to be on a safe side, have you tried to run memtest on that machine?
