asterisk users - Jul 2009 - Asterisk Segmentation Faults Using Skinny (v1.6.0.10)

Hi all,
I've just built a new installation of CentOS release 5.3 (Final) and 
have installed both 
<http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases/asterisk-1.6.1.1.tar.gz>Asterisk
1.6.1.1 and subsequently Asterisk 1.6.0.10 (thinking that I was maybe 
trying to be too cutting edge) on a Dell PowerEdge sc440 server (nothing 
complex - Pentium Dual core 2ghz - 1gb ram - 70gb sata hd).

The setup at this point is real simple with one Cisco 7960 phone 
registering with Asterisk using Skinny.

I'm finding that simple things as pressing any of the buttons on the 
phone is enough to cause Asterisk to randomly restart from a 
segmentation fault.

I've tried this with 1.6.1.1 and, after recompiling and replacing, 1.6.0.10.

I followed 
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/CentOS+5.2+and+Asterisk+1.6.x+installation 
as a basis for installation leaving out things I didnt want to set up 
(odbc / web admin ).

The only thing that didn't seem to go too well was the setup Dahdi 
(dahdi-linux-2.2.0.1). Although I can do a 'make' and 'make
install',
'make config' didnt work and there are no etc/dahdi/ directory to change
any config files (as suggested by the guide). This may not be related 
but just in case I thought I would mention it.


This is from the console after pressing the 'speaker' button a couple of
times.

 /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk: line 146: 21513 Segmentation fault      (core 
dumped) nice -n $PRIORITY ${ASTSBINDIR}/asterisk -f ${CLIARGS} 
${ASTARGS} >&/dev/${TTY} < /dev/${TTY}
Asterisk ended with exit status 139
Asterisk exited on signal EXITSTATUS-128.
Automatically restarting Asterisk.


If I don't use the phone, Asterisk will stay running.
I can dial the 1000 test extension along with the 500 inter-asterisk 
test, these seem to work as expected as long as I dial the number and 
hit 'dial' on the phone rather than selecting the line and trying to 
dial each digit in turn. If I try that then at some random point (but 
not always) Asterisk will fault.

The firmware version on the phone is 7.2 to which I've had this phone 
and several others running off a 1.2 setup for years (using 
chan_skinny?) but thought it time to update Asterisk.


Anyone have any pointers please on what to check next?

Thanks,
Wayne

Sorry to bump my own message - but had a mail server problem so don't 
know if I missed any replys :(

Hi all,
Just a quickie to say that this has been solved now - real simple - 
downloaded '*current*' rather than the versions from the home page of 
Astrisk.org. (didn't realise there was a 'current' version tbh.

Anyways - I don't get Asterisk seg faulting now when hammering the 
speaker button on my cisco phones :)

Interestingly - I've got another query - but will post another question 
when I've had chance to play more.

Cheers
Wayne.
