Slackware 7!  Upgrade to something from this century!  Seriously, 7.0 is 
so old that you should not be using it.  It's not supported with 
security updates and uses older versions of glibc (which may be part of 
your problem).

Slackware 11.0 was recently released.  Move to that.  There isn't 
anything special that would make it run less fast than 7.0 does on your 
hardware.  You'll also have the option of installing a 2.6x kernel which 
will bring you to the 21 century.

I used slackware back to version 3.0.  It's a very clean distro.

If this is a dedicated Asterisk box, consider looking at Astlinux.  We 
will be releasing 0.4.5 in the next week or so with some major 
upgrades/improvements.  For now, you can grab the release candidate
