> Tony from Schmooze Com reported that since upgrading to Asterisk 1.8.20.x, there have been numerous apparent lock ups in {{chan_sip}}, wherein all calls stop being processed. Other operations (such as querying from the CLI) continue to work correctly.
> Two backtraces taken from affected systems point to a call to {{res_timing_pthread}}'s write_byte not returning. This call is attempting to write a byte into a timer's pipe. In general, while the pipe is blocking, this operation should write the byte and immediately return. Failure to return typically indicates that the pipe is full.
> It isn't clear right now which timer is actually causing the problem, nor is it clear why a read operation isn't being performed on some timer. However, as noted in ASTERISK-14050, having a single timer run into this state will cause this exact problem.
