Summary:                    [patch] 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

Yes, the old code with ERROR_LOCK_PATH did not account for things that it
should have. And I added more code that is critical, so just going back to
that is not the proper fix. I really did mean the patch I listed. Examining
the different behaviors of the backends is indeed confusing and I don't
even want to type it out. Basically there is confusion between -1 meaning
error and the mail index returning -1 for 0 messages. However, given that
-1 is a widely used convention of meaning error (and is used here in
voicemail) the checking of < -1 should be limited as the second patch has
done.
