Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.2.13~dfsg-2etch2
Severity: critical
Tags: patch
Justification: breaks the whole system

In channels/chan_local.c: Occasionally (but reproducable under stress
test) system becomes unusable when asterisk tries e.g. a billion times to get a 
lock on the channel.

Suggested work-around:
Try to detect live-lock prone state (e.g. softhangup pending), also limit the 
number of locking attempts.
