i had a problem with asterisk consuming all the resources available on 
redhat 9.  it would occur roughly every 24 hours or so - and would cause 
all sorts of problems.  when a new channel opened up it fought for 
resources for a few seconds - so no speech could be heard, then when it 
could grab enough resources to process the channel it would... but the 
quality would be terrible.

it can be solved with this:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1

so now thats in my asterisk init script before actually starting 
asterisk.  since doing this i havent had a problem (3 weeks ago).
