> When I do something like this:
> IAX -> dial(some_number)
> some_number,1,Dial(SIP/XXX,10) ; do not answer
> some_number,n,Answer()
> some_number,n,Wait(1)
> some_number,n,Dial(IAX/some_number_on_the_same_server,60)
> asterisk crashes.  I tried removing the Answer and Wait, but no crash.
> A long story brought me here. I am trying to upgrade our systems from 1.2.31 to 1.8.2.3.
> running 30 to 40 phones on a server worked and continues to work just fine.
> Triple that number or so and periodic problems started; SIP registrations failed , IAX calls failed, unresponsive servers at the CLI, Max retries exceeded to host XXX on IAX2/XXX messages showed up and killing asterisk to restart is was the only way to get back control.
> Since this problem appears to be IAX related, a little IAX torture test was created. 
> When IAX calls are directed back to the server the number of active IAX channels goes up.
> Eventually the MAX retries thing starts happening, CPU gets very busy, VMStats reports very large number of context switches.  If asterisk retains some control, the number of IAX channels sometimes goes down. 
> After looking at other posted issues (ASTERISK-16711,ASTERISK-16258,ASTERISK-13156 and possibly others). I have the DAHDI timing module loaded only and the number of IAX threads set to 1. Now i am left with the short dial plan shown above and a regularly crashing server. When IAX debugging is set on the asterisk does not crash. When asterisk retains control i notice the CPU and context switching significantly increase when one dial ends and another begins.  the number of IAX channels required to do this less than 40. 
> DONT_OPTIMIZE and DEBUG_THREADS are set ON
> I have a core dump and will provide a back trace when i figure out how to use this jira thing :)
