>             Project: Asterisk
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Applications/app_celgenuserevent, CEL/General

> If an invalid CEL configuration is provided, Asterisk will disable CEL but still load. If it does so, it will fail to create the CEL Stasis topic - which means anyone who grabs the topic will just NULL.
> This causes a crash in {{app_celgenuserevent}}, as it doesn't bother to check if the topic is NULL or not when it publishes the CEL user event.
> While we could check to see if the topic is NULL or not in that application, that doesn't stop anyone else who has written a dialplan application that upgrades it to 12 (all 0 of them) from also crashing. CEL should probably always create the topic on initialization and dispose of it on shutdown, just to be safe.
