[asterisk-users] Crash Hard, Crash Often

[Josiah Bryan]

It *is* doing mysql CDR and a whole host of custom AGI scripts. AGI to 
mudge the CID, AGI to handle receptionist routing/selections, AGI for 
voicemail (not using builtin vm app) - all the AGI scripts do mysql 
connections.

Would the CDR connection be a problem?
