I misread the description.

This crash is most likely a symptom of a memory leak somewhere. It's crashing because of a failure to allocate memory.

We'd need memory leak information[1] to try to determine where it is leaking. Information about how exactly you use Asterisk would also be useful - what parts of Asterisk, what channel drivers, etc.

> It happens randomly, once, twice a day, sometime doesn't happen at all.
> Though, it's always happening when Asterisk is processing calls, so it's not happening during night (when asterisk is almost idle)
