Hello.

Thank you for the feedback.

To reply to all the information :

@ Shaun Ruffell : What do you mean by Wall time ?
This server is indeed also time server (ntpd is running)

@ Mark Deneen : No, no monitor attached. This is a Xen VPS. I do have a 
VPS interface, but this is also frozen when the server hangs...

@ William Stillwell : I run Asterisk 1.6.2.10 with Dahdi 2.4.0 (as 
timing source). Time on my server seems very consistent. When doing 
/usr/sbin/ntpdate (once a month) there is a very very small offset.


Kind regards,
Jonas.
