Asterisk isn't so much crashing as not eloquently exiting. By sending
ctrl-c to asterisk, you are actually asking it to quit.

While I cringe when I ave to use it, when you have connected to asterisk
with "asterisk -r", you have to use ctrl-c to exit the connection. The
trouble basically being that you are then using the asterisk executable
as a specialized communications tool.
