Ok, it crashed again, so that wasn't it either.  What I did to trigger
it was using the auto-dialer to loop as many calls to app_datetime out
and then back over the same E-1 as it would take, queueing the calls
to "/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/" 14 at a time.  It froze at the first
attempt.  The "good" news is that it produced a visible kernel-panic.
this time.  My guess is that you only don't see it if the console
screensaver has already come on while it happens.

It read something like "Unable to handle kernel paging request" and
happened in the swapper-task.  As usual, it dumped a lot of numbers on the
screen, which I didn't want to write down.

Mark: If you want my help in debugging this, I'll hook it up to a
serial console, trigger the crash and provide you with the exact
panic, together with the ksyms and modules-info to trace it.
