There should be a file called something like backtrace.txt that gives 
you instructions on how to compile with debugging options, generate a 
coredump when Asteriss crashes, as well as information on how to 
generate a backtrace to determine where the problem is located.  This 
file would be in the doc/ directory in your Asterisk source.
