 From Steve's experience, you can see that on some cases upgrading to a 
newer version solves a lot of issues. I would not be comfortable with 
simply using restart scripts because asterisk doesn't work well along a 
reasonable amount of time. Get your hards dirty and get to the bottom of 
it, try upgrading, googling error messages, dig into the bugtracker 
looking for reported issues, and don't give up, is better to have or 
achieve a stable version and maybe help to improve it reporting a new 
bug than just going with a lazy solution IMHO.
