[asterisk-users] Asterisk (meetme) and SMP/HT OK?

[Steve Edwards]

In the past, there have been reports of problems with Asterisk with
multiple processors and/or HyperThreading.

I'm having a !@#$ of a problem with an HPDL380 with 2 3.4gHz Xeon 
processors, 2 gb RAM -- if I got 24 hours I'd think I had died and gone to 
heaven :)

Am I missing something obvious like "Asterisk is single CPU, single core?" 
I can't access the ILO so I can't "just try it."

I'm currently running Asterisk SVN-branch-1.2-r43977, but Asterisk has 
never been stable, regardless of the version, release or SVN.

I have submitted a bug report, but it's been over 2 months and nobody 
seems interested in fixing a problem that has crashed 75 times (yes, 
seventy-five times) in the last 10 days!

The vast majority of crashes are in meetme. The "bt's" look like 
this:

#0  0x005e67a2 in _dl_sysinfo_int80 () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
#0  0x005e67a2 in _dl_sysinfo_int80 () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
#1  0x006267a5 in raise () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#2  0x00628209 in abort () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#3  0x0065a71a in __libc_message () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

#10 0x001aeb26 in conf_exec (chan=0x96e94a0, data=0xb7de1070) at app_meetme.c:2031
#11 0x08083d43 in pbx_exec (c=0x96e94a0, app=0x9587840, data=0xb7de1070, newstack=1) at pbx.c:553

Any clues leading to the arrest and conviction of this bug will earn you a 
case of Sierra Nevada at the next west coast Astricon :)

Thanks in advance,
