Description:Sometimes, Asterisk just stops working. I notice it with phones getting "No service" on their display, calls not comming in etc. I almost always have a console connected, and when I issue commands most of them doesn't do anything. For exemple, "core show channels" or "core show locks". Some commands like "sip show peers" only show half of the info.

I compiled with DONT_OPTIMIZE and DEBUG_THREADS and run asterisk inside gdb (/usr/sbin/asterisk -f -vvvg -c).

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

Os : CentOS 5 almost up todate.
Sangoma quad-port card hooked-up to a PRI with MTS/Allstream
23 configured SIP clients, curently serving 8.
Have been playing with call queues, curently none are configured.
AEL is my primary dialplan

It did it again.

Note that my top-most thread is still forking. Both times (yesterday and today), it was after calling an AGI script (bourne shell script, also attached).

I can now crash it every time. I use a small php script that uses phpagi to originate a call. The data sent to asterisk is attached as agi.txt. After the manager connection ended, my phone rings, I pickup, it then goes in my dialout macro and it crashes forking for my islocakprefix script.

Note that if I do manualy dial, it also goes into my dialout macro and it's working.

When this happens, please use the remote command to grab the output:

asterisk -rx 'core show locks'

and upload the output here.  This ensures that NOTHING else is run on the console first.

I cannot, asterisk crashes completly...

Could you give me a 'bt', 'bt full', and 'list' from that crash?
By: Nicolas Ross (rossnick) 2008-06-20 08:56:36

I was instructed on the asterisk list to do a "thread apply all bt" while running into the debuger. I uploaded those with the report (gdb_thread* file attached).

I'll see if I can reproduce it.

I since upgraded to 1.4.21 and change my method for determining the local or not call...

rossnick:  if the process is still running, I'd much rather have a 'core show locks'.  If the process crashes, then a 'bt', 'bt full', and 'list' are what are generally useful.  There are some specific cases that need a 'thread apply all ...', but we leave it up to a specific bug marshal on the bugtracker to determine when it's needed for a particular issue.
