[App_rpt] Asterisk segfaults after installation

[David McGough]

Hi Tony,

I'm interested in your results, too. I had trouble with asterisk version 
1.4.20 & 1.4.20.1 that I downloaded and compiled, including the latest 
app_rpt, etc., from the xeletec SVN....My problem was that when I tried to 
connect 2 channels, asterisk would hang requiring a kill -9 of the 
asterisk process to recover....See my messages from earlier this month for 
more info...Moving to the 1.4.19 version included in files.tar.gz resolved 
this.

I, too, have seen some segfaults with the 1.4.19 asterisk version....But,
I attributed this to a corrupted rpt.conf config--due to my experimenting
with this file....Once I fixed the config, all was okay.

I don't really want to get into the politics of whether to include code in
the asterisk trunk, but, I will make a comment....I've used linux for 17
years now, and I maintain several commercial code libraries for use with
various open-source tools--like PHP and Apache....I can say from
experience that keeping up with a rapidy evolving/moving target--like many
of the open source projects are--can be VERY tedious. In fact, it can be a
full time job in itself! ....So, I have some tolerence about the positions 
voiced in earlier threads about not trying the latest & greatest.

Just my $0.02

73, David KB4FXC
