Is there any way to do this 'live'?  I get it intermittently and capturing 
debug for days before the problem is manifest is probably not the best way to 
do it.

I've tried leaving the debug line in and not invoking any kind of -d in the 
asterisk startup but the debug log still grows.  I can't comment out the 
debug line in logger.conf because a logger reload or reload will NOT create 
the debug file, only a restart will.

Ideally some way to create the debug file but write very litte to it until I 
connect with "asterisk -vvvvddddrc" or something would be best I imagine.

Also, is are logs of problem conversations already in progress any use to you?  
You nailed down the "dead audio after 65535ms" problem but every now and 
again (very very rare) we will have a conversation where the incoming audio 
goes totally dead for about 2-4 seconds and then continues just fine.  This 
occurs usually several minutes into the conversation, and I've never seen it 
occur twice in a conversation.

Obviously this is next to impossible to catch.  :-(  I haven't heard a 
complaint about it since turning off jitter buffer to nufone.

As always, thank you for your knowledge and input.
