I'm not seeing anything wrong with the code here. The only suggestions I have are style improvements, which you are free to ignore.

    You may as well invert this and exit early so you can reduce indentation a bit here.

    You could also invert this if statement in order to decrease further indentation.

> The principle problem was check_bridge() failed to check the ast_channel_masquerade() return value to see if the masquerade was actually setup.  In long chains of local channels, the masquerade occasionally fails to get setup because there is another masquerade already setup on an adjacent local channel in the chain.
