I see a constantly growing memory footprint with asterisk 1.2 and zaptel 
on analogue cards but with digium & openvox TDM400 cards. I did ask about 
it here some time back and got no reply - not even a "we fixed this in 
1.4" sort of reply, so these boxes get asterisk restarted once a week.

Only analogue cards though. Nothing with pure VoIP or ISDN2 (mISDN) or 
ISDN30 (zaptel)
