[Asterisk-Users] ASTERISK loosing it.. stops respondingtocommands on TERMINAL

[Rich]

I will look the debug page over.		

I should have given some more info...

when Asterisk gets in this strange state...
it stops taking calls from the IP side...
I haven't tested inbound from the PSTN side...
and when I try to connect to it with
#asterisk -r
i get back a line saying
>broken pipe

and I "kill -9" the process and restart it with "safe_asterisk"

Rich, you are much better off finding the root cause of why this is
occurring.  You can try using strace to find out why it is locking up,
if you can't figure it out, post the results to the list (it could be a
bug) or try following the gdb instructions.
