Yeah, I have suspicions that that is what has caused my server in New 
Zealand to crash twice in the last couple of weeks.

Unfortunately being that I'm in the opposite time zone, it's a little 
difficult to access a machine which does not respond to SSH.

I tried to get my wife to killall mpg123 processes from the console, but 
the machine was probably in the Asterisk console rather than the command 
line.

Lucky we don't use it on any production servers...
