6476b8135760659b25c93ff9308425ca98a9e777 breaking asterisk 13 compatibility
Hi Rich
I think I've found a problem in the way Asterisk is using pjsip today
(or in pjproject itself: I'm not sure whether the function in question
just shouldn't be used from several threads at the same time or whether
they accidentialy didn't make it threadsafe): There is a possibility
that several threads could use the same pjproject function at the same
time which uses gethostbyname... This can cause memory corruptions in
lots of different ways.
As the startup issues I had were as well crashes while allocation
memory it's not impossible that the fix I've made for pjsip will solve
this problem as well... Will let you know.
Best regards,
Pirmin
