I'm not going to say you will never experience a crash in a supported
version of Asterisk. The issue tracker would quickly make me out to be
a liar.

On the other hand, if you are using a supported version of Asterisk,
then you can report the issue [1], get a backtrace [2], and we'll do
our best to fix the bug.

The question isn't whether or not you will ever experience a problem:
the question is, should you be running a production system on
something the project no longer supports?
