New Revision: 371692

Log:
Implement workaround for BETTER_BACKTRACES crash

When compiling with BETTER_BACKTRACES enabled, Asterisk will sometimes
crash when "core show locks" is run. This happens regularly in the
testsuite since several tests run "core show locks" to help with
debugging. This seems to be a fault with libraries on certain operating
systems (notably CentOS 6.2/6.3) running on virtual machines and
utilizing gcc 4.4.6.

(closes issue ASTERISK-20090)
