[asterisk-dev] ast_safe_string_alloc & powerpc problem in asterisk 1.4

[Nicolás Gudiño]

Hello all,

Just wanted to point out a problem I found when upgrading from 1.4-beta3 
to 1.4 final.

Problem description: Zap channels where named always as Zap/0-0. 
Sometimes as Zap/0-3.

After inspecting the code, I found that the problem was with 
ast_safe_string_alloc.

Searching the net I found a patch by rizzo in trunk that replaced those 
calls with asprintf:
http://www.mail-archive.com/svn-commits@lists.digium.com/msg10915.html

With this change Zap channels are now named as usual.

This asterisk box is running under a powerpc machine under yellow dog 
linux: it might be a platform specific problem.

Should I open a bug report in Mantis? This seems to be fixed in trunk, 
so it will only apply to 1.4 and probably only for powerpc systems..
