[Asterisk-Dev] H323 segfault .... PPC

[Reini Urban]

That's a typical malloc problem I encounter often.

Some other pointer (the previous in the malloc reserved chunk)
overwrote past its end. so this pointer cannot be deleted anymore.

it's quite hard to detect the broken alloc/new/memcpy/strcpy.
please check with valgrind or dmalloc (dmalloc.org). valgrind is usually 
better.
