Just grasping at straws...

How often does this happen?

Does "sudo lsof | grep /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/" show the modules you 
expect?

Unless you're running 24x7x365.

I have a 1.2.7 system (with custom hacks) that needs to be restarted every 
3 or 4 months due to a memory leak.

I had (until last weekend) a 1.2.2x system that had been running for over 
600 days.

Both systems handle about 15k calls a day.
