[Freeswitch-users] mod_python sqlalchemy core dumps

[.]

Hi,
 It seems (still need to run a few more tests to be sure) you have
completely solved my problem.  This had been driving me nuts for the
last several days, and I can't tell you how helpful this simple
suggestion was!

After I removed the hangup hook all of my problems disappeared.

Maybe it's worth adding something to the freeswitch mod_python wiki
page about this?  I still don't know exactly why this causes a core
dump, and it seems to work ok, as long as there is nothing else
interacting with it (e.g. sqlalchemy), but it probably would have
taken me quite a while longer to get to this on my own, given the
prominent placing of the hangup_hook in most of the examples on the
wiki.

I did this as well, after recompiling freeswitch with
# export CFLAGS="-g -ggdb"
# export MOD_CFLAGS="-g -ggdb"
as suggested in the wiki, however the results didnt seem very helpful:
(gdb) core core.4051
(no debugging symbols found)
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".
Core was generated by `/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch'.

I still think this could be very nice, and useful.  I'm not familiar
with kamealia at all.  if you don't mind, could you elaborate on why
you think it would be preferable to twisted in this case?

Thanks again!
