There's a reason for this. The reason is that somebody, somewhere up the
call chain, just plain forgot to lock the appropriate data structure before
passing it around. (Worse: if the data structure doesn't even have a lock.)
Historically, Asterisk has had a few bugs in that area. Writing
multithreaded programs is *not* easy.
Frankly, after reading the list archives and looking at the archive (last
check-in in the devel branch was last year!) I fear that here we have yet
another broken, poorly-maintained ISDN solution for Linux. (By my count,
that's at least #4.)
... and the Asterisk people refusing to fix obvious locking bugs, when
their effects only happen to show up in third-party channels, doesn't
really help either. :-/
Danielle: *Are* you making progress with the new version? Who is
maintaining the old visdn branch in the meantime, for those people who
need it running on newer kernels?

You can prove anything by mentioning another computer language. :-)
