asterisk users - Feb 2005 - "System" command causes core dump Warning: Newbie help :)

With the following program:

#!/bin/sh
# mailfax: program to email received fax as pdf

FAXFILE=$1
RECIPIENT=$2
FAXSENDER=$3
FAXID=`basename $1|cut -d "." -f1,2`.pdf
FAXTXT=`basename $1|cut -d "." -f1,2`.txt

tiff2pdf $FAXFILE > $FAXID

sendfax.pl $FAXID $RECIPIENT $FAXSENDER $FAXFILE
#end of program

If I execute the following from the command line:

mailfax /var/spool/asterisk/fax/1108470308.13060.tif 
somebody@company.co.uk 0178933333

everything works just fine, and the .pdf comes through as an email 
attachment

If I execute the following from the dialplan (* is CVS-HEAD 02/02/05)

exten => 666,1,System(mailfax 
/var/spool/asterisk/fax/1108470308.13060.tif somebody@company.co.uk 
0178933333)

then the tiff2pdf program generates a core dump.

Why would this be the case ? What can I start looking for ?

Further to this, I've now noticed that the soxmix program is now not 
working either : the -in and -out files are still there .. but no 
errrors in the debug log

from the debug file:

Feb 15 18:35:56 DEBUG[866]: monitor executing ( nice -n 19 soxmix 
"/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/agent-6005-1108492527-18733-in.gsm" 
"/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/agent-6005-1108492527-18733-out.gsm" 
"/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/agent-6005-1108492527-18733.gsm" 
&& rm -f
"/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/agent-6005-1108492527-18733-"* ) &

from the directory listing afterwards ...

# ls -l /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/agent-6005-1108492527-18733*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 47355 Feb 15 18:35 
/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/agent-6005-1108492527-18733-in.gsm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 47454 Feb 15 18:35 
/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/agent-6005-1108492527-18733-out.gsm

The files are still there, and the mixed file is not. Which indicates 
that soxmix is failing as well.

Things worked fine with both the mixing and faxing until yesterday. I'm 
trying to see what has changed (although * is CVS-HEAD from well before 
that)
