Summary:                    Asterisk 1.8.0 locks up under OpenSUSE 10.3
Description: 
Asterisk 1.8.0 locks up in less than 24 hours <twice> on my lightly used
installation.

Asterisk 1.8.0-rc2 is stable on the same system.  So changes between RC2
and Release are likely contributing problems for my installation.

No Add-Ons, just stock 1.8.0 distribution.

In locked-up state:
 - CLI (asterisk -vvvr) seems to still be alive in locked state.
 - [core stop now] CLI command has no effect.  Asterisk process continues
to stay resident.
 - asterisk process does not respond to "kill <processID>"
 - kill -9 is needed to remove asterisk prior to restarting.


My system:
  OpenSUSE 10.3 x64/AMD
  Athlon64 X2 5200+/8GB RAM/1.5TB disk
  Is stable (hardware and software)

I can provide OpenSUSE 10.3 ISO if needed (hard to find on OpenSUSE
site).

I rolled back to RC2 since I can't afford to have my phone system continue
to randomly crash every day.  Hopefully a future release will address this
issue.

I updated my post in the Asterisk Forums to show how to get MP3 working,
even with these bugs (which I still consider important if not serious).

My post covers lacking documentation (couldn't find what in needed in doc/
distribution directory), and how to partially work around this bug (i.e.
find the one configuration that does work).  I say partially, because even
with everything I documented, the system crashed again.

There are a lot of little tidbits of knowledge needed that aren't
generally known by the outside world.  I shared what I learned and needed
that took me almost 2 days to figure out.  I hope it helps someone else. 
Meanwhile we still have a show-stopper bug.
