I will also include some config files, as it looks like something is blowing up with a config file...

Please note, I did trim the comments out of the config files for display here... If you need the fill ones, please let me know.

UPDATE:

It seems to be an issue with this config file specifically... I am going to guess straight out that it is the comment length...

res_fax_digium.conf
; Maximum expected T.38 delay is a measure in milliseconds and is used to determine the default size of T.38 packets sent to/from the fax stack

maxdelay = 800

Few things:

1. Attach config files and backtraces to the issue do not post them as comments.  It helps to keep the issue clean.

2. Your backtrace is optimized out (see below):

3. I suspect you will need to contact Digium directly, since you are using res_fax_digium. We will see your backtrace first.

---
Thank you for your bug report. In order to move your issue forward, we require a backtrace from the core file produced after the crash. Please see the doc/backtrace.txt file in your Asterisk source directory.

Also, be sure you have DONT_OPTIMIZE enabled in menuselect within the Compiler Flags section, then:

make install

after enabling, reproduce the crash, and then execute the instructions in doc/backtrace.txt.

When complete, attach that file to this issue report. Thanks!

Can you confirm if removing that line resolves the crashing, and placing it back in causes the crashing?

It seems highly unlikely the config file parser is to blame as it is the same in all of Asterisk, and modules don't see comments in the config files.

Since this is related to res_fax_digium, you will need to get support from Digium directly, not the issue tracker.
