#1809 closed defect (fixed)

Premature transaction destroy caused by DNS SRV resolver callback being called twice

Description

Scenario:

  1. run pjsua with one nameserver configured, the library uses the nameserver fine for sometime and it successfully stores some entries in the cache, until somehow the nameserver is down and the library marks it as bad
  2. a registration refresh is about to be done, DNS SRV resolver is used for resolving the SIP registrar address and the DNS server returns two entries from the cache, say server1 and server2
  3. the resolver then tries to resolve the A record of those two entries, which eventually the server1 cannot be resolved due to no working nameserver and the server2 is successfully resolved from the cache
  4. then assertion happens with the following call stack trace:

After investigation, we found a bug in DNS SRV resolver, there is possibility of the application callback being called twice, this is quite fatal as when the application is transaction module, a transaction may be destroyed prematurely (as transaction ref counter gets decremented twice while it should be once only!).

Thanks Andrey Kovalenko for the report.
