Hi, the log files contained (sometimes) lines about "refcount -1 in astobj.c". I also generated core dumps and analyzed them - but there were always errors in another module.
Mabye I found the solution: Asterisk seems to crash when a required module cannot be loaded fast enough due to heavy disk usage. When I move the "modules" directory to another hard disk Asterisk runs fine. I'm using autoload=yes in modules.conf and have several "noload" lines in it. Is there a possibility to say asterisk to load all modules to RAM at start time and not on demand?
