Any way you can reproduce this one with Asterisk compiled without optimizations? The backtrace may still be useful, but I thought I'd ask.

Unfortunately I don't think we are going to be able to reproduce it. The server concerned had an older snapshot of a new dialplan for a customer to test and then was updated with the latest development copy. We only have live releases in version control so without having the same starting point before the reload I doubt it will crash again.
If you could let me know what changes I can make to the build options (untick all optimisation settings) that would help in the future then I can do that on our staging server so any backtraces would be more useful if it happens again in the future.

It actually looks like it was an invalid {{cli_aliases.conf}} that did it. Can you attach that {{conf}} file?

I've played around with creating a few invalid {{cli_aliases.conf}} files, but haven't been able to reproduce a crash yet.

Here is the cli_aliases.conf file. Its not a feature we have made use of so its probably the default one which came with 11.2-cert1.

Steps to cause segfault (I think on any current version, not just 11.x):
1) Start asterisk with cli_aliases.conf having reload=module reload
2) touch cli_aliases.conf (change timestamp to force reload)
3) From cli run 'reload'.  You will see warnings from cli.c about the reload command.
4) Press tab in asterisk CLI for command completion.  Segfault.

I know this isn't exactly how the segfault happened for Gareth, but since backtrace.txt shows the 'reload' alias in use I suspect it could be the same root cause (failure to remove the reload command alias).

Thanks for the reproduction Corey - I don't think I actually mapped the reload command when I was trying to reproduce it.
