> The masquerade super test is failing on v12 with high fence violations and crashing.  The fence violations are showing that party id allocated memory strings are somehow getting corrupted in the bridge_reconfigured_connected_line_update() function.  The invalid string values happen to be the freed memory fill pattern.

The copying thread is using the old string pointer being freed by the updating thread.  A search of the code found the unreal_colp_redirect_indicate() routine updating the caller party id's without holding the channel lock.
