</head><BODY ><div class="body"><SPAN style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">I believe this is a Asterisk console bug, but thought I would run it through here first.  I can get Asterisk into a tight loop 100% of the time.  Here is what I know...</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">First I have verbosity set to 20 in the asterisk.conf file.  I believe that has some bearing on this issue for two reasons.  One it doesn't occur if I turn verbosity off and two, there is no updates to the console occurring without verbosity.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Next, I connect to my Astlinux box using putty on a Windows XP machine (yes, windows is involved in this but it may happen with other clients, just not tested) and fire up asterisk console with "asterisk -r"</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Next, I put my Windows machine into suspend without shutting down putty.  This leaves the connection in an open state on the Linux box.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Next, I have a call generated on my Digium TDM401 card via zap.  This may also work with SIP but it is not as consistent.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">At this point, the box stops responding.  If I call the Zap Channel line, I hear the SIT tones and the message starting "This system..." in stutter format, like the machine is trying to push it out but the box is at 100%.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">The console is not responsive and I cannot troubleshoot it any further.  There is no dump file created or any logging done on the box.  I have no way to verify which asterisk process is exactly to blame.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Here is my theory, The Zap Channel is trying to write via the console to a port which was not closed properly, therefore, it goes into a loop trying to contact that device.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Like I said, this happens 100% of the time, I just cannot troubleshoot it further.  If I close out the putty session properly, I do not have an issue.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br /><br /></span></div>
