Description:	Loading codec_resample automatically or by console once started, crashes whole Asterisk automatically with a "Bus error" and no more debug from the application. I have to add the line "noload => codec_resample.so" to make it start. It crashes even with the default configuration on a fresh install. I'm using latest asterisk from SVN. What can I do to help you identifying the failure? ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** Asterisk is running on Debian GNU/Linux(Sid) with latest 2.6 kernel from git, on a Sun Netra X1 (UltraSPARC-IIe 500MHz, 1024 MB RAM)
Comments:	By: Russell Bryant (russell) 2008-01-10 18:05:36.000-0600 Well, if you could get a backtrace, that would be helpful.  I'm going to try to get on a Linux/sparc machine to test it myself, though, if i can. Build with DONT_OPTIMIZE enabled.  Then, start Asterisk with the -g flag so it makes a core dump when it crashes. # gdb /usr/sbin/asterisk core.12345 (gdb) bt (gdb) bt full By: dmartin (dmartin) 2008-01-10 18:38:35.000-0600 I've just attached the output from gdb. I didn't compile with DONT_OPTIMIZE yet, I will do if the backtrace is not enough. Do you think that this is a linux/sparc specific issue ? Ah, didn't mention, but it crashes compiling with gcc-4.2 and gcc-4.3. By: snuffy (snuffy) 2008-01-10 21:46:11.000-0600 dmartin with a 'bus error' it is most likely that it is a sparc thing, most likely due to 'unaligned access' of memory.
