[Asterisk-Users] Weird, weird, weird thing with my Asterisk box...

[Kyle Hagan]

I had to stop and start * this weekend because of the same problems. Havnt
figured out what the problem was yet either. Wonder if there is some bug in
this build some where. It happeneds to my * every few days. Without having a
power outage. If I figure out what is going on I will share with you.

Kyle
