[asterisk-users] Lots of Asterisk child processes

[Mike Clark]

We are experiencing a sporadic issue across several systems using 1.2.x 
releases of Asterisk where there are lots of child processes  spawned 
off the main Asterisk process that appear to be just sitting around 
doing nothing. They don't accumulate any CPU time, so don't know if they 
are deadlocked on something. Eventually, the systems will hang when a 
number of these processes accumulate. Anyone else experienced this or is 
there any specific known issue that may cause this?

Thanks,

Mike Clark
