[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk 1.07 crash under Debian Sarge

[shadowym]

True, there have been many fixes since then.  I would at least consider
upgrading Asterisk+zaptel to the latest 1.0x which I think is 1.09.

If you want to try troubleshoot it first I would watch my memory usage over
the next couple days for memory leaks.  If you find your using more and more
physical memory over time and don't want to upgrade I would schedule a cron
job to reboot the system every night.  It's not a pretty solution but it
get's the job done. 

What sort of hardware platform are you using?  Adequate cooling? Clean
power?

I would definitely be interested to know what you find.
