Compiled with DONT_OPTIMIZE

Could not find BETTER_BACKTRACES in compile flags - am I missing a library to enable this?

The first backtrace is not a segmentation fault (it's an abort) and indicates a memory management problem, so you need to enable thread debugging and run under valgrind.

The second one probably is a segmentation fault, but that is not certain, but, in any case, may be a consequence of the memory management problem.

Thanks David.  I'll do this.  

Quick question - when running under Valgrind, will Asterisk automatically restart if there is a crash?

I have the same problem.  Also on 1.8.5 RC 1.  Probably the problem will also exist on 1.8.5
Any progress on this issue?

@Richard unfortunately I don't have access to this system anymore so am unable to test or provide any feedback on those patches.

Closing issue as reporter can no longer supply feedback.
