Description:Our conference system (only) pbx, which only runs meetme and no other asterisk function, is randomly crashing. Crash occurs once every few days, and occurs regardless of traffic (sometimes crashes on Sunday night when there is no conf participants.

The following types of messages seem to be logged prior to the crashes:

We're running on asterisk 1.2.13.

This is a major customer so we need to find a solution asap. Thanks. (Full log is attached, winzip'd)

any difference with recently released 1.2.14?

By: Jay Dutt (jdutt) 2006-12-18 11:39:00.000-0600

We have not tried 1.2.14 yet. Do you think this will make a difference? Thanks.

it's hard to say for sure, since the messages file attached does not contain much useful information, but there was one fix for meetme that went in to 1.2.14.

Are you able to upload a backtrace when this happens?

We have been having the same issue intermittantly from the 1.0.x series.  Our console output is similar.  I was able to capture a core dump from yesterday's crash.  Uploaded backtrace.txt.   We are running Asterisk 1.2.13, Zaptel 1.2.7, libpri 1.2.4, asterisk addons 1.2.5.

I really need you to test with the 1.2.16 release, the changes in r.55750 have fixed a lot of random crashes.

Acknowledged.  I'll add the Asterisk upgrade to the next maintenance window.

if still an issue with 1.2.17, please reopen the issue with a new backtrace.
