[Asterisk-Dev] Heads Up: Recent CVS Unstablity

[Brian Capouch]

Sorry all I can give are symptoms.  First sign was on a version I built 
over the weekend.  Still present in CVS-HEAD built early this morning. 
Long-stable system with no other changes but CVS upgrade.  I always 
upgrade with fresh checkout.

The most dramatic is an incoming call arrives, Zap interface picks up, 
begins to dial "strung together with &" series of interfaces.

None of those stations rings except the local Zap FXS, and the instant 
the first one rings, the story is over.  CLI is unresponsive, but the 
Zap interfaces (I have two) ring and ring endlessly.  "stop now" will 
eventually stop the server, after ~30 seconds.

It happens randomly, but only after the system has been running for 
something like ten hours.  No build since it began has stayed up 24 
hours without this occurring.

Also during the period just before this happened (hindsight is keen; I 
was calling in from a separate Asterisk instance and I thought the 
problem was on that end) IAX connections would sometimes die--the server 
would receive a NEW and not respond, but then if I called back it would 
work just fine.

FWIW.

Thanks.
