Hi Team,

we are using asterisk 13 and at one of our customers we are experiencing the segfault in non calling hours.
As checked from the core dump file created at that time we can see that the cache was null at that time :
backtracre and other details checked :
(gdb) bt

Can you please help us in knowing that in which all possible scenarios this cache can be null ?

It’s likely NULL because Asterisk is shutting down and the resources were freed during that process. Why it is shutting down, no idea.

Thanks @jcolp for your input.
