Regular crashes

I have just setup asterisk on a debian sarge box. I am running Asterisk 1.21 with AMP and chan_capi_cm 0.6.1 using a BT Speedway (AVM Fritz) ISDN card, connected to a BT ISDN2e line. Currently we have 6 extensions configured all using CounterPath(Xten) eyebeam softphone.

After many hours of Googling I have finally got it all setup and working. We can transfer calls internally and make and receive external calls. Its all great except for stability issues!!

Essentially every now and again (6/5 times a day!), in the middle of a call (so far usually but not exclusivly on external CAPI calls) asterisk simply dies. No warning, no error, just my console session outputs a disconnected from console message.

The server is a brand new AMD 3400+ with 512Mb RAM.

The other issue experienced is occasional break up on inbound sound quality.

Below is the output from console prior to crash. Verbosity 5 and capi debug enabled

This is very fustrating.

All suggestions welcome

Disconnected from Asterisk server

It may be worth starting Asterisk with something like

strace asterisk >strace.log 2>&1 &

This will produce a massive amount of output in the log file, but it should allow you to find out where it’s crashing.
