Summary:                    VoicemailMain Exits Without Warning
Description: 
Hi

I've seen problems with VoicemailMain crashing in the past, from not being
able to lock paths, open audio files etc.

However, I have a VoiceMailMain which is opening a mailbox, but existing
after verifying a correct password.

The console trace is below, but because Asterisk is not crashing, I can
not provide a backtrace. Could you please give me some guidance on how to
further debug, as debug level 10 (shown below) only shows it
locking/unlocking paths and then exiting.

I have checked all permissions and even removed mailboxes and let Asterisk
create the paths itself. Voicemail() works fine, but VoicemailMain does
not. The relevant entry from voicemail.conf is also

Hi

I have found that it's this code that is causing the return:

        /* Retrieve urgent, old and new message counts */
        ast_debug(1, "Before open_mailbox\n");
        res = open_mailbox(&vms, vmu, OLD_FOLDER); /* Count all messages,
even Urgent */
        if (res < 0){
                goto out;
        }

I.e. res < 0. That's returned from open_mailbox, here:

        /* for local storage, checks directory for messages up to maxmsg
limit */
        last_msg = last_message_index(vmu, vms->curdir);
        ast_unlock_path(vms->curdir);

        if (last_msg < 0) {
                return last_msg;
        }

Which of course, is from last_message_index, which is returning -1 because
there are no files in the Old/ directory - which seems to be the correct
operation.

So either I'm reading the source wrong, or this is intentionally dying
because there are no old messages due to some sort of strange bug uploaded
into 1.6.2 branch? :|
