Hello, Does anyone know how frequent segment faults occur in the current LTS release (version 11) and in the future LTS release (version 13)? We are currently using 1.6, which frequently throws unexplained segment faults, that's why we are considering to upgrade to the latest LTS version. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The issue tracker would quickly make me out to be a liar. On the other hand, if you are using a supported version of Asterisk, then you can report the issue [1], get a backtrace [2], and we'll do our best to fix the bug. The question isn't whether or not you will ever experience a problem: the question is, should you be running a production system on something the project no longer supports?

Each time I would upgrade to fix one issue another would appear. I moved to Asterisk 1.8 LTS when it was released and haven't looked back. I have around 700 endpoints registered and we handle over 10k calls per day. Even with Asterisk 1.8 I was running into a hung channels every few months when using a Sangoma card with chan_dahdi. About 6 months ago I switched over to a Cisco gateway for the PRIs and am only using chan_sip with Asterisk. The result has been rock solid performance.
