--------------------------------------------------------------------

Core dumps are not an Asterisk thing, they're a system thing. There's things we can use to try to influence it (such as requesting a core dump occurs) but ultimately it's the system itself that does it/handles it. If you're not getting core dumps and Asterisk is actually segfaulting, then the system itself would be the place to look. I don't know anything further beyond that.

> Currently, Asterisk crashes randomly every few days, not seemingly linked to anything going on at the moment. In fact, prior to this crash, the system was completely idle (no calls) for the previous 34 minutes.
> Here is a backtrace from right before the last crash, useful as it has line numbers:
> 01:35:03 ERROR[13076] : Got 10 backtrace records
