We've upgraded our system over the weekend from 1.4.35 to 1.8.3.2
For the past couple of days, we had several random hangs(most of
the time "core stop now" didn't work, I had to kill -9 the process)
Also the PRI behavior seems to be slightly different, we can't hear
any early media sounds on 800 numbers that goes through AT&T.
I finally downgraded it back to 1.6.2.17, now everything work.

Thanks for your response. I have added the patch for 18818 per Michel 
Verbrask's recomendation. It appers that it has made quite a difference. I 
don't have an PRI connections as all of our PRI's are connected via SIP 
gateways. I did run into serveral instances wher I had to kill -9 the 
process as well but post patch I have been in good shape know on wood. I 
hope there will be a new release that will address the stability issues 
very soon if they release 1.8.4 without cleaning this up I won't move unitl 
it is addressed. 

For Now 1.8.3..2 is very bad.

Thanks
Bryant
