Description:Was crashing daily.  I made a patch to prevent seq fault, but I crashed yesterday even with patch.  Problem occurs with CVS and stable 1_0 version.

I run a dual xeon server.  Only have the problem when moh is active.  I have 10 * servers with same configuration.  None have problem unless using moh.  Problem is rare with patch but still occurs.

My environment is * server, 410 card, pri attached to port 1, channel banks providing dial tone are attached to remaining ports.

Not sure what unique situtation may initiate problem.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

Following is a back trace of segfault with my patch in place:

Any crash is a crash, definitely not a feature.  Anyway as it turns out this is closely related to bug ASTERISK-1745 as it turns out.

Go ahead and updated to latest CVS.  I think it might be something very simple as it turns out.

Please do *not* use the line you pasted, as it masks the true source of the crash.  It will be helpful if I can login to your system if you can find me on IRC if you can make it core dump.

To be clear, I"m talking about upgrading to latest CVS head.  DO *not* use stable.

Have you tried latest CVS head?  Do you still see the problem?

I installed the change on Saturday.  So far I haven't had any problems with moh.
