There is no solution without information.

Without a core dump or error logs, its time to break out the "Magic 8 
Ball."

As another 1.2 Luddite, this is so old nobody cares.

I have a customer stuck (coincidentally) on 1.2.7.1 because of some custom 
hacks to meetme. They have to restart every 3 or 4 months due to a memory 
leak. This is with a call volume of about 15,000 calls a day.

If at all possible, you should update to something more current like 
1.2.31.1 or whatever the "stable" release of 1.4 is.

If you update to 1.2.31.1, still nobody will care, but your bug may have 
been fixed and there shouldn't be any major migration issues.

Yes. Cranking up logging and logging to syslog would be a good idea as 
well.

Thanks in advance,
