[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk crashing with no indication why.

That can very well be the cause - there is a known issue, first stated by 
"mattf" on this list, about trouble when a manager API client looses the 
connection and then another API client (maybe the same using a different 
connection) comes into play.

So: Stop using that deamon and see if Asterisk becomes stable. 
You could also introduce regular - but not too many! - "reloads", e.g. 1-
4 times a day plus one "restart" during night time with the help of a 
CRON job.

Also: Check /tmp for a core file and run gdb and a backtrace if you find 
one. Search for "debugging" on the Wiki for more detailed instructions.

Cheers, Philipp
