I've had spandsp crash out on some kind of floating point error about a half 
dozen times over about 250 faxes.... When it crashes it takes Asterisk down 
with it.  These systems are SuperMicro Xeon server-class systems, no 
overclocking, RAM was tested overnight with memtest86, no-nonsense, nothing 
funny type machines.  SpanDSP and Asterisk were both compiled with the same 
compiler without any oddball optimizations (just whatever's in the default 
makefiles).

It's a bitch to try and reconstruct, but it's the only reason I'm not using 
spandsp in production; when I was using spandsp I had it on a completely 
separate machine on the local LAN to avoid the spandsp crashes from taking 
the voice part down.
