If it's crashing, the first thing I would do is upgrade from 1.4.41.2  
to the latest version, which is 1.4.23.1.  Quite a number of issues  
have been fixed since the version you're using.

If you're still having a problem with 1.4.23, then try to get a  
backtrace of the crash.  First, build Asterisk without optimizations  
enabled by running "make menuselect" and turning on the  
"DONT_OPTIMIZE" flag in the "Compiler Flags" section.  Then, if you  
start Asterisk with -g, it will generate a core dump on a crash.   
Finally, use gdb to get a backtrace.

$ gdb asterisk core.12345
(gdb) bt
(gdb) bt full

Then, post this information on http://bugs.digium.com/  and we'll help  
you resolve the issue.

Thanks,
