I think I found the reason for this crash. The FSM tries to send data through an SCCP connection but we never had one, thats why the asserition is hit.

Normally this should be prevented by gscon_sigtran_send(). This function avoids sending data when the ST_INIT or ST_WAIT_CC. When someone calls gscon_lchan_releasing() at a random point in time, the function forces the FSM to ST_CLEARING, and this state is not covered by by gscon_sigtran_send() so it tries to send the data even though there is no connection.

My idea is no to check in gscon_lchan_releasing() if we are already in ST_CLEARING. If not we just go to ST_CLEARING but before we call gscon_bssmap_clear(). If there is a connection it will be cleared then, if we are still in ST_INIT or ST_WAIT_CC nothing happens. If we are already in ST_CLEARING nothing happens at all.

In general I think its not a very good idea to allow other entities to do random state changes. I think its better when the FSM makes the state changes by itsself based on the events it receives.

I have now pushed the fix, but in the End I think this does not really cut it. It solves the problem, but the FSM should certainly know better about its connected state. Maybe gscon_lchan_releasing() can send an event to the FSM so that the FSM can decide consciously if it is appropriate to send the BSSMAP CLEAR REQUEST or not.
