Thank you for your reaction. Can you be more specific ?! What "system 
core files" do I need to check and what am I looking for ?!


I've recently upgraded from 1.4.30 to 1.6.2.11 and then these problems 
occurred. I had no problems before. Therefore I would think it has 
something to do with the version I'm currently using... But of course 
I'm not sure.

Could it be my MySQL database ?

In what situation does safe_asterisk restart ??


Jonas.

#1. look for core.* in /etc/asterisk (may be elsewhere, but if you did 
- cd /etc/asterisk
- asterisk -vvgc
The core.pid (pid being the unix process ID of the process) would be
generated there.
#2. always a possibility, but it shouldn't have "broken" going from 1.4 to
1.6
#3. numerous answers, but basically anytime a module fails.
