Here it is, but since the AsteriskNow release has stripped the binary
i fear it won't be of much use:

Is there any "-debug" package for asterisknow's asterisk package?

On RedHat they are generated automatically. On Debian they require some
extra settings, and has been present in recent Asterisk packages (the
asterisk-dbg package) but not in all of the smaller modules packages.

Nope, already tried this before posting
but nothing like that appears on conary

I looked again at http://rbuilder.rpath.com/ and searched for the
package "asterisk".

It does seem to have a subpackage called "asterisk:debuginfo".

I'm not able to install it but i'll look further, conary is a tricky
software to say the least

anyway, i'll be migrating on a debian asap, since i now this
much better and the advantages of AsteriskNow keep reducing

Off topic:
That is not to say you should not try Debian ASAP Wink

Well i tried a debian/lenny with an mISDN patched for 2.6.24
but it lead to kernel panic / server reboot after 4/5 calls on the B410p.
No problem on the T220b but i need both cards ...

I think i'll have to reinstall an debian/etch and either try the
packaged asterisk 1.2
or manually build an 1.4 + zaptel + misdn.
Everything i was looking away from when i initially choosed asteriskNow

Perhaps this should be tagged under "Is * Ready For Prime Time ?" Thread
Isn't an 'appliance' supposed to be a 'plug-it-in-and-runs' sort of thing ?

We are actually running an AsteriskNow appliance with asterisk 1.4.18.1
and it's quite unstable.
We have ~30 IAX2 SoftPhones and encounter some "Avoiding IAX destroy
deadlock"
and now that we have added a Queue, it's worse than ever. The queue goes
stuck quite often
(agent are stuck in 'In use' state and if they logoff they can't log-in
till an asterisk restart).

There's an IAX issue with the security patch for 1.4.18.1... and 1.4.19.1.

There's another thread on this.

Take a big shot of Valium before dealing with the bug tracker folks.
There idea of "help" is to post "You have an extra space in your line"
then CLOSE the ticket.
That kind of clear, specific help is just what my doctor ordered to keep
my BP nice and low

I use 1.4.18 with no problems. We have quite a few users(125 total
between branches), but the call volume at the most has been around 15
active calls at a time.

Any IAX2 phone or mostly SIP ?
Do you use Call Queues ?

We have less user than that, less concurrent call but quite a few
crash/deadlocks

Have you reported these issues on the bugtracker?

Well, the problem is finding usefull data to report.

I've 4 core dumps thats show differents things:

two seems to be related to ControlPlayback:
#0 0xb705b658 in strcasecmp () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#1 0x0809c579 in ast_readframe ()
#2 0x0809defc in ast_streamfile ()
#3 0x0805e786 in ast_control_streamfile ()
#4 0xb698be5c in ?? () from
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_controlplayback.so
#5 0x08298700 in ?? ()
#6 0xb470aec0 in ?? ()
#7 0xb698c1fc in ?? () from
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_controlplayback.so
#8 0xb698c1fa in ?? () from
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_controlplayback.so
#9 0x00000000 in ?? ()
....

One is pretty generic:
#0 0x0809c9bc in ast_closestream ()
#1 0x08085d91 in ast_hangup ()
#2 0x080cd3d8 in pbx_builtin_setvar_helper ()
#3 0x080cf08e in ast_pbx_outgoing_exten ()
#4 0x080fde65 in ast_inet_ntoa ()
#5 0xb7eec560 in start_thread () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
#6 0xb703667e in clone () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

and the latest is thread/iax2 related:
#0 0xb7ee71c7 in pthread_mutex_trylock () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
#1 0xb562a969 in ?? () from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_iax2.so
#2 0x00000079 in ?? ()
#3 0x00000000 in ?? ()
#4 0xb547a148 in ?? ()
#5 0x080f0508 in ast_sched_add_variable ()
#6 0xb5647c89 in ?? () from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_iax2.so
#7 0x00000012 in ?? ()
....

But my main problem is when the system just froze,
it start mostly by the Queue not working anymore, with member stuck in
'in use' stack (should not happen
with IAX2 agent IIRC, given that we had to build macros using GROUP() to
detect in use IAX2 agent)
Then the console (asterisk -rcTvvv) start to freeze (completion doesn't
work, message stop from being displayed
and even command output is lost).

And i'm reading http://www.asterisk.org/developers/bug-guidelines which
speak of using SVN trunk version of asterisk,
thing i'm not really eager to try on a live system...

Thank you for your very kind offer.
After repeatedly re-opening the ticket I finally got a clear specific
answer.
Strangely, in the 30 mins it took for me to take the answer, try it, and
report back the results
they had closed the ticket again so I couldn't report whether their
solution fixed the problem or not.
In fact it did, but I would have liked to have been able to document
that so that others running into
the same problem and scanning the bug report would know definitively if
their answer was indeed correct.

But - THANK YOU - and I will Certainly take you up on your most kind
offer in the future!
