[Asterisk-Dev] Asterisk stability is improving, but....

[Tom Knox]

First an update:  after turning off hyperthreading in Redhat 9, my Asterisk
is performing much better with a lot more speed and stability.  This is
good, since I am trying to roll-out a solution by April 1st.

Now for a few comments and Q's.

I have a remote testing box that will become the telephony server.
Installed is Redhat 9, *, Festival (with * patch), and MySQL 4.  All seems
good until I try to call Festival (either from exensions.conf or from an AGI
(I have tried C, PHP, and Perl AGIs).  The text is being spoken correctly,
but my * console is showing the following message and then if in an AGI when
there is a hang-up, * becomes unstable and many times terminates on its own
or needs a restart.  Anyone have suggestions or willing to help resolve this
problem?  Below is a snippet of the log.  As you can see after the error, a
hang-up causes a crash of *.

Thanks in advance
