Description:We have running a call center with asterisk and once or twice a day, the agents log out and the asterisk is restarted.
We get the following message in /var/log/messages:

Thank you for your bug report. In order to move your issue forward, we require a backtrace[1] from the core file produced after the crash. 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 backtrace[1] instructions. When complete, attach that file to this issue report.

Thanks a lot!
One question:
enabling DONT_OPTIMIZE in menuselect within the Compiler Flags section, and afterwards "make install" will cause problems in my asterisk?
Because I have it installed in a client.

Thanks a lot!

That's a question I can't answer. It depends entirely on the system, the load, and many factors. You should reproduce on your development systems first.

backtraces using the gdb

From the docs.

Note:
   This function does _not_ return a reference to the bridged channel. The reason for this is mostly historical. It _should_ return a reference, but it will take a lot of work to make the code base account for that. So, for now, the old rules still apply for how to handle this function. If this function is being used from the channel thread that owns the channel, then a reference is already held, and channel locking is not required to guarantee that the channel will stay around. If this function is used outside of the associated channel thread, the channel parameter 'chan' MUST be locked before calling this function. Also, 'chan' must remain locked for the entire time that the result of this function is being used.

patch makes sense and should fix this problem.

Committed and fixed by irroot, 1.8 branch at #335991

Will this patch affect the operative of the call center in any way?
For example agents won´t be able to make transfers for a small period of time?

Can you please explain with more detail how to install this patch? For example do we need to restart asterisk service?

Thanks!

You need to download the source code and patch it with the file attached.

all it does is prevent the error the lock it holds could slow things down negligibly.

it will be available in asterisk-1.8.8.

I have asterisk 1.6.2.10, this patch works with it?
I have the asterisk already installed, the command to patch would be the following, confirm please:

patch asterisk-1.6.2.1/channels/chan_agent.c < chan_agent.patch

thanks!
