Hi List

Regarding this Asterisk instance as discussed previously (Asterisk 1.8.11.0)
that was consuming enormous amounts of file descriptors (100 000+ for about
50 simultaneous calls) it appears I have managed to solve my problem by upgrading the 1.8.11.0 Asterisk instance to an 1.8.32.3 Asterisk instance.

Also, the file descriptors apparently leaking were paired with timer problems in 1.8.11.0 whenever I went above about 50 concurrent calls on the box while running on 1.8.11.0.

The thing is in our setup we have about 15 instances of 1.8.11.0 at the various branches of the company, all running 1.8.11.0, BUT at none of these sites do we ever exceed 40 simultaneous calls.

The defining factor was (in our case, with our dialplan) to run 1.8.11.0 and try to run 50+ concurrent calls.

What would happen was that thousands of these messages would come up in the CLI:

[Aug 13 09:41:38] ERROR[25193]: res_timing_dahdi.c:89 dahdi_timer_set_rate:
Failed to configure DAHDI timing fd for 0 sample timer ticks

when we reached or exceeded 50 calls.

The same happened whether pthread timing or kernel timerfd timing was used.

Several other weird errors would manifest in the CLI, to whit:
