First off, that's a neat idea!  Thanks so much for letting us know
about such an interesting submission.  If you're not familiar with the
code contribution process, there is a great overview page to explain
the process at http://www.asterisk.org/community/developers

If you're seeking someone to help you debug your crash, a great place
to do that is the #asterisk-dev chatroom on irc.freenode.net.

Hope that helps, and thanks so much for your contribution.
