My specific problem is that Asterisk 1.2.17 and 1.2.18 (I've not tried 
1.2.16) core dumps at least once per day.  1.2.15 works just fine for 
me.  I don't know if there are open bugs.  I've not opened any bugs. 
Any time I open a bug for a problem I have on a production server, all 
people want me to do is test patches to see if they fix the issue.  They 
don't seem to understand the term "production server".

Sorry, but this is my JOB, not my hobby.  Perhaps the customers of the 
developers don't care if the PBX crashes once per day, but my customers 
do care and I will do whatever is required to make them stop yelling at 
me.  What made them stop yelling at me is moving back to 1.2.15.
