[asterisk-dev] V11 SVN branch: Problems with console ?

[Pavel Troller]

Hi!
  I've found a problem with remote console in V11 SVN, caused by the recent
update(s) to the main/asterisk.c file.
  The problem is, that the console doesn't print command output, however the
commands are being executed (if they have something to execute). When the
session is terminated and 'rasterisk -x "command"' is executed, it works
normally and for some time, normal console behaviour is restored. However,
after some time, it stops printing the output again. See the following 
C&P from the real console:

patrol at hyper * CLI >
patrol at hyper * CLI > core show version
patrol at hyper * CLI > core show version
patrol at hyper * CLI > core show version
patrol at hyper * CLI > core show version
patrol at hyper * CLI > quit
Asterisk cleanly ending (0).

  It looks that using Tab for help provokes the problem immediately:

  Doing 'svn up -r396746 asterisk.c' fixes the problem, so it's definitely
in one of the two patches submitted after this revision.

  I'm not creating an issue in JIRA, because it didn't appear in any release
yet and it may be a kind of WIP, so I'm just reporting it here...

With regards,
  Pavel
