And I've just done another test. With stock ubuntu 9.10 i386 and sample asterisk config files, I have the same result. VMWare shows no crazy stats of disk access nor memory usage. Just 100% cpu load. I selected "Mail Server" and "OpenSSH server" at tasksel screen during installation.

Same thing.

So I uninstall-all and apt-get install asterisk.
Same thing. 100% with init script but normal with -vvvvvvvvc CLI switch.

BTW, my server has been running for 2 days without crashing @ 100% load of course.

Weird, eh.
