Bug 133393 – Asterisk breaks with glibc 2.3.6-p3 and nptl

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Bert Smith 2006-05-15 08:59:30 UTC]

Asterisk (tested with 1.2.7_p1-r1 and earlier versions) fails to start when using glibc 2.3.6-r3 with nptl.

Backtrace:
#0  0x000002000004995c in pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.1 () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
#1  0x0000000120099b10 in ast_pthread_create_stack ()
#2  0x000000012008b84c in main ()

The same issue occurs on multiple machines running this combination of glibc and asterisk.

The same versions of asterisk start and run correctly using glibc 2.3.5-r3, however this version has other issues (which 2.3.6 corrects) such as: openssl 0.9.7j fails to compile (as segfaults on one of the files during compilation)

I can confirm this.

Asterisk compiled with glibc-2.3.6-r3 sagfaults shortly after start. I tried the following versions of asterisk:
1.2.7_p1-r1
1.2.7_p1
1.0.8-r3
Compiling was fine, but the program segfaults while reading its configfiles and initializing the pbx-system.

masking glibc-2.3.6-r3 and switching back to 2.3.5-r3 makes asterisk live again :)

heres my emerge --info (after switching back to 2.3.5...)

Adam: does this happen to you with the latest asterisk versions? I'm using it fine with glibc-2.3.6-r5 on a couple hardened systems and there doesn't seem to be other reports about this issue in bugzilla.

[Comment 3 Adam Pyschny 2006-11-27 10:05:38 UTC]

Sry, i don't know exactly, i masked glibc 2.3.6 and tried it with glibc-2.4-r4 when it became stable, that works fine with asterisk 1.2.13. 

[Comment 4 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2006-11-27 10:08:35 UTC]

So this looks like an alpha-ism then.
Bert: tested against newer versions?

[Comment 5 Jose Luis Rivero (yoswink) (RETIRED) 2007-05-11 14:32:08 UTC]

Long ago this bug was filed and new versions of glibc and asterisk have been released. 

@Bert, @Adam: any news? or we can close this as FIXED?

[Comment 6 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2007-07-12 21:59:06 UTC]

No info, closing.
