Summary:                    Error rate for 'asterisk.c: Accept returned -1: Too
many open files' is not throttled.
Description: 
When Asterisk 1.4.23.1 runs out of available filehandles, the log file
grows out of control and fills the disk in a very short period of time.
When this error occurs, approximately 700-800 lines of logging are produced
each second. This jams the system and essentially crashes Asterisk. Unless
Asterisk crashes first as a result of this error message that is, but the
two events happen so closely together that it's impossible to tell.

Oh yes, we get segfaults like this:

May 26 10:17:58 voip asterisk[25727]: segfault at 3046 ip 00003046 sp
b79ba87c error 4 in asterisk[8048000+103000]

Asterisk was crashing all morning at random intervals no more than 30
minutes apart. I'll try to see if I can reproduce the problem on our backup
server and get a backtrace.
