We also experienced this problem on 1.2, but i'm not sure that this is registered in bug database. You should check bugs.digium.com and if it's still valid for 1.4, you should post your backtraces there. As solution - we refused from using format_mp3 at all - actually it has almost no benefits. If your MOH is in MP3s - you will get them decoded (and translated to necessary codec) on-the-fly for every call, so more performance. You can convert all your MOH to native channell formats of asterisk, and put all those files (one for each format/MOH combination) in MOH directory - asterisk will pick up one with less translation.
