You 're right, it could be every thing....

Are they reported in the bugtracker, or in the mailing list?

Yes, this was the first thing, I did after the crash showed up. I simply
forgot to enable it, since this production server ran long time without
problems. But now, following murphy's law, the next crash will never happen
;-)

After these machines were setup, we compiled new code on every machine,
since we started with an older version of Asterisk in November 2004. The
compiling of asterisk did not show me any relevant (?) errors. But I
remember there were some statements (Warnings) in the console output of the
make process, I didn't understand. Is this output logged in addition to the
console in a logfile somewhere?
If so, one could examine this output and hopefully get some hints...

Thanks for your help
