[Asterisk-Users] 1.2.9.1 crashed today

[Matt]

Ok,
So here's some information I've, to this point, left out.   I applied
the patch to allow * to be pressed in queues to park a call (*270).
After reverting the patch the system seems stable.  So, it almost
seems like the crash is directly related to the number of times
someone parks a call that came in a queue.

I don't understand, though....

                               /* terminates call */
                             ast_frfree(f);
                             f = NULL;

How does removing those 2 lines cause asterisk to crash?   Basically
the code looks for a *, if it sees it it runs that... so the patch
removes those lines.. so when asterisk sees a * it doesn't do
anything.    The variables are so cryptic I can't exactly figure out
what its doing.. is ast_frfree(f) suppose to 'free' something, perhaps
that is not getting freed?  But then what is f = NULL.  Yikes, who
comes up with these variable names?
