After running an apt-get dist-upgrade (which upgraded perl, among other things)
I now have discovered new behavior: With every valid TERM=<foo>, 'asterisk -r' segfaults. The list I tried (ie. export TERM=<foo>; asterisk -r) is: Eterm ansi cons25 cons25-debian cygwin dumb hurd linux mach mach-bold mach-color pcansi rxvt rxvt-basic rxvt-unicode screen screen-256color screen-256color-bce screen-bce screen-s screen-w sun vt100 vt102 vt220 vt52 wsvt25 wsvt25m xterm xterm-256color xterm-color xterm-debian xterm-mono xterm-r5 xterm-r6 xterm-vt220 xterm-xfree86 It appears that TERM must be set to an invalid terminal type (ie. nothing in /lib/terminfo) for 'asterisk -r' to work: export TERM=unknown Connected to Asterisk 1.8.7.1~dfsg-1 currently running on voip (pid = 28745) No entry for terminal type "unknown"; using dumb terminal settings. voip*CLI> export TERM=something_random Connected to Asterisk 1.8.7.1~dfsg-1 currently running on voip (pid = 28745) No entry for terminal type "something_random"; using dumb terminal settings. voip*CLI> export TERM=to_infinity_and_beyond root@voip:~# asterisk -r Connected to Asterisk 1.8.7.1~dfsg-1 currently running on voip (pid = 28745) No entry for terminal type "to_infinity_and_beyond"; using dumb terminal settings. If TERM doesn't exist, or is a valid terminal type, I get a segfault. root@voip:~# unset TERM root@voip:~# asterisk -r Connected to Asterisk 1.8.7.1~dfsg-1 currently running on voip (pid = 28745) [429565.756093] asterisk[30475]: segfault at ffffffff801512c0 ip 000000000051ed74 sp 00007fff80150980 error 4 in asterisk[400000+1a3000] Segmentation fault root@voip:~# export TERM="linux" root@voip:~# asterisk -r Connected to Asterisk 1.8.7.1~dfsg-1 currently running on voip (pid = 28745) [429601.269320] asterisk[30481]: segfault at 27772270 ip 000000000051ed74 sp 00007fff27771930 error 4 in asterisk[400000+1a3000] Segmentation fault I hope this helps nail down the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
