I have a strange situation. I am using centos 4.6 i586 with alsa 1.0.17 and asterisk 1.4.21.1 (only the console/dsp or soudn port). running centos 4.6 asterisk will seg fault after awhile. running debian edge with the same installed packages it does not seg fault. running x86_64 centos 4.6 and 5.2 asterisk does not seg fault. What might be going on with centos i586 that it is causing asterisk to seg fault? Any ideas? Another thing I tried is put 2.6.24.4 on centos 4.6 (debian edge runs 2.6.18) I then re-installed my packages. Still the asterisk on centos seg faults. Asterisk is heavy in threads is this some problem? Any solution to that? Thanks for any ideas. Jerry
