Bug#698118: asterisk: version 1:1.6.2.9-2+squeeze9 crashes on SIP call, +squeeze6 does not

[Diego Guella]

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.6.2.9-2+squeeze9
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I have a production, fully working asterisk server.
I use many Siemens C470IP cordless phones on the office, they are SIP peers in my asterisk installation.
I had "asterisk" and "asterisk-config" version 1:1.6.2.9-2+squeeze6 installed, and all was working nicely.
Today, I updated to 1.6.2.9-2+squeeze9 and found out that asterisk seems working, but as soon as I do a SIP call with the cordless, asterisk crashes suddenly.
I reverted to 1.6.2.9-2+squeeze6 since this is a production asterisk and I can't have downtimes.
This is Debian Stable! A package should not break like this :(

Cheers,
Diego Guella
