> chan_iax2.c, specifically in function iax2_poke_peer, a completely unprotected access to iaxs[peer->callno] is made.  Specifically I had a segfault trigger on line 12230, an access to iaxs[peer->callno] - the second in a sequence, so peer->callno can definitely change between the two 
> It is my understanding that:
> 1.  peer->callno can change outside of the function , thus it's probably unsafe to use the raw value as per lines 12223, 12229 and 12230.  I believe this should be callno, and not peer->callno.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  This can either happen by us calling iax2_destroy, or simply another thread also scheduling a POKE on the same peer.
> 2.  All reads and writes to iaxs[X] should be protected by a lock of iaxsl[X].  Lines 12229 and 12230 violates this currently.
> I suspect my crash resulted from a sequence where a POKE was in process of being scheduled, another thread then called iax2_poke_peer for the same peer, called iax2_destroy on the iaxs[] busy being set up, and *boom* major catastrophe.
