actually now that is you mention it, i too had to disable
chan_iax on one of my boxex because it kept crashing
on some ao2-related change (at least, so i think from the panic message)
after an update on oct.14th (svn82401 at the time).

I didn't have the time to track down the problem, as the
stack trace was not obvious (calling some function
starting with __ and the string 'hash' as part of the name).
If i get some time i will try to replicate the problem during the weekend.
