</head><BODY ><div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">I=
 believe this is a Asterisk console bug, but thought I would run it through=
 here first. &#160;I can get Asterisk into a tight loop 100% of the time.=
 &#160;Here is what I know...</SPAN></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">First I have=
 verbosity set to 20 in the asterisk.conf file. &#160;I believe that has=
 some bearing on this issue for two reasons. &#160;One it doesn't occur if I=
 turn verbosity off and two, there is no updates to the console occurring=
 without verbosity.</SPAN></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"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></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Next, I put my=
 Windows machine into suspend without shutting down putty. &#160;This leaves=
 the connection in an open state on the Linux box.</SPAN></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Next, I have a call=
 generated on my Digium TDM401 card via zap. &#160;This may also work with=
 SIP but it is not as consistent.</SPAN></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">At this point, the=
 box stops responding. &#160;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></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">The console is not=
 responsive and I cannot troubleshoot it any further. &#160;There is no dump=
 file created or any logging done on the box. &#160;I have no way to verify=
 which asterisk process is exactly to blame.</SPAN></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"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></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Like I said, this=
 happens 100% of the time, I just cannot troubleshoot it further. &#160;If I=
 close out the putty session properly, I do not have an issue.</SPAN></div>
