The issue is caused when DNS resolution (pj_dns_srv_resolve() ) in pj_stun_sock_start() returns synchronously and the DNS resolution callback has been called. However, there is currently no mechanism to propagate the error from inside the callback to stun_sock, thus pj_stun_sock_start() will always return PJ_SUCCESS. This causes pjsua STUN server resolution to continue waiting until it times out.

(Note that this issue first appears because of ticket #1962, which directly returns without setting any error status after synchronous failure, to prevent double destruction.)

Thanks to Imad Khazali for the report and analysis.
