</head><BODY ><div class="body"><SPAN
style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">I believe this
is a Asterisk console bug, but thought I would run it through here first. I can
get Asterisk into a tight loop 100% of the time. Here is what I
know...</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br
/><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN
style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">First I have
verbosity set to 20 in the asterisk.conf file. I believe that has some bearing
on this issue for two reasons. One it doesn't occur if I turn verbosity off
and two, there is no updates to the console occurring without
verbosity.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br
/><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN
style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Next, I connect
to my Astlinux box using putty on a Windows XP machine (yes, windows is involved
in this but it may happen with other clients, just not tested) and fire up
asterisk console with "asterisk -r"</SPAN><SPAN
style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br
/></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN
style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Next, I put my
Windows machine into suspend without shutting down putty. This leaves the
connection in an open state on the Linux box.</SPAN><SPAN
style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br
/></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN
style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Next, I have a
call generated on my Digium TDM401 card via zap. This may also work with SIP
but it is not as consistent.</SPAN><SPAN
style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br
/></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN
style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">At this point,
the box stops responding. If I call the Zap Channel line, I hear the SIT tones
and the message starting "This system..." in stutter format, like the
machine is trying to push it out but the box is at 100%.</SPAN><SPAN
style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br
/></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN
style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">The console is
not responsive and I cannot troubleshoot it any further. There is no dump file
created or any logging done on the box. I have no way to verify which asterisk
process is exactly to blame.</SPAN><SPAN
style="font-size:10pt;"><br /><br
/></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN
style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Here is my
theory, The Zap Channel is trying to write via the console to a port which was
not closed properly, therefore, it goes into a loop trying to contact that
device.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br
/><br /></span></div>
<div class="body"><SPAN
style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Like I said,
this happens 100% of the time, I just cannot troubleshoot it further. If I
close out the putty session properly, I do not have an
issue.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"><br
