[asterisk-users] Asterisk Crash

"From" was a CVS-HEAD version from way back pre 1.2 days, sometime in 
the 1.0 days (I think.)

I've reviewed my dialplan based on the and UPGRADE.txt notes (and 
UPGRADE-1.2 notes) and I've made all the necessary changes (e.g. SetVar, 
etc.) - really not much was affected in the dialplan. I'm just doing the 
basic "calls come in to receptionist, she transfers to users extensions" 
paradigm.

yum update is still doing header downloads for the upgrade transaction, 
and I havn't seen a kernel update come through yet - I'll keep an eye out.

As far as DAHDI - didn't know that - googling turned up the digium blog 
on the topic, but the linked page 
(http://www.asterisk.org/zaptel-to-dahdi) was empty content-wise. I did 
use a fresh build of zaptel-1.4 (svn r4506) from 
http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/branches/1.4 for the asterisk 1.4 upgrade.

My watchdog process still is reporting frequent crashes of asterisk 
(most recent at 12:35 EST - they are on average an hour or less apart - 
some 5 or 10 minutes apart.)

Suggestions for further debugging? /var/log/asterisk shows a bunch of 
log files - event_log is blank, messages is just warnings from the 
console - but NOTHING in /var/log/asterisk/messages from around the 
crash times (e.g. at 12:35 EST in messages there is nothing, last msg 
was at 12:01 and next msg was at 12:36 indicating a restart of asterisk 
with  "cdr.c: CDR simple logging enabled" message.).

Any way to get asterisk to tell me *why* or what app is causing the 
crash or termination?

Thanks for your help with this mess. Cheers!
