[asterisk-users] Too many notify events causing Asterisk crash?

[James Lamanna]

Hi,
We've implemented a 'page-all' function for some of our customers, and
we've noticed that
on occasion the page-all will cause asterisk to crash (safe_asterisk
then restarts it again).
The particular customer has about 20 phones, and also has 5 Linksys
932 to monitor the state of these extensions.
I'm not sure whether it is the page-all that causes the crash, or the
subsequent NOTIFY storm to
all of the 932s that are monitoring those extensions (since the
page-all causes them all to go to In-Use and then Idle).

Here's a log snippet of right before the crash (previous crashes look
very similar).
Also, this is a production box, so there's no way at this time I can
recompile with debugging symbols.
The Asterisk version is 1.4.18.1.

Thanks.
