Summary:                    [patch] Asterisk crashes with a segfault if current
host cannot be resolved via DNS.
Description: 
int ooGetLocalIPAddress(char * pIPAddrs)
{
   int ret;
   struct hostent *hp;
   struct ast_hostent phost;
   char hostname[100];

   if(pIPAddrs == NULL)
      return -1; /* Need to find suitable return value */
   ret = gethostname(hostname, 100);
   if(ret == 0)
   {
      if (!(hp = ast_gethostbyname(hostname, &phost))) {
                        struct in_addr i;
                        memcpy(&i, hp->h_addr, sizeof(i));

If gethostname() fails, and then ast_gethostbyname() does as well, we will
go to the memcpy, dereferencing the null 'hp'.
