Description:	I performed the following steps on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine: {quote} curl http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-11-current.tar.gz | tar -xvz -C /var/lib/puppet/src/asterisk --strip 1 ./configure make make install{quote} After setting up some very minimal configuration, asterisk just works. However, the moment I set the autoload directive to 'yes' in my modules.conf I get a segementation fault while starting Asterisk. {quote} # gdb asterisk (gdb) run -f /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf -vvvvvv -g -dddddd -c ... app_milliwatt.so => (Digital Milliwatt (mu-law) Test Application)  == Registered custom function 'AES_DECRYPT'  == Registered custom function 'AES_ENCRYPT' func_aes.so => (AES dialplan functions)  == Registered custom function 'SYSINFO' func_sysinfo.so => (System information related functions)  == Registered application 'MinivmRecord'  == Registered application 'MinivmGreet'  == Registered application 'MinivmNotify'  == Registered application 'MinivmDelete'  == Registered application 'MinivmAccMess'  == Registered application 'MinivmMWI'  == Registered custom function 'MINIVMACCOUNT' Destroyed memory objects...

Perhaps there's a very logical explanation, but I figured a segmentation fault is not what should happen nonetheless ;) Thanks for making an awesome product!

Looks like it's crashing due to something during parsing of those config files. Let us know what happens. If it looks like it only crashes when reading those config files, then attach them to the issue so we can have a look. (assuming they are not nine billion lines long) 2. Attach complete backtraces of your core file following the instructions here: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Getting+a+Backtrace 3. Attach another debug log showing Asterisk's startup. Verify VERBOSE and DEBUG are turned on and turned up to level 5 at least. https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Collecting+Debug+Information By: Rusty Newton (rnewton) 2013-05-30 17:08:10.853-0500 Note: to attach debug (More Actions > Attach Files). We don't want them inline. By: Rusty Newton (rnewton) 2013-06-14 15:09:04.574-0500 Suspended due to lack of activity. Please request a bug marshal in #asterisk-bugs on the IRC network irc.freenode.net to reopen the issue should you have the additional information requested.  Further information can be found at http://www.asterisk.org/developers/bug-guidelines
