I don't know why recording is breaking your calls. My guess is
something is screwed up with your PRI configuration. Are you getting
alarms in your logs from dahdi?

You should try to reproduce the problem on demand by generalizing your
dialplan, change the number of the answer service to the number of
your cell phone, and run some calls through.

I've been recording calls with 1.6.0 series using MixMonitor() and
haven't been having problems, making me think the recordings step is
coincidental. Crank up the verbosity, run some calls through and tell
us what's happening.
