asterisk users - Sep 2007 - Asterisk + Realtime + Manager reload = crash

I have several installations of Asterisk (several versions) where we
have our own web interface that uses Mysql and Realtime.  When we do
modifications to Mysql we use a Manager connection in order to reload
the configuration (we use Realtime static for extensions) sometimes
Asterisk will crash.  Not every time and not every X times we reload.
Sometimes it takes ten reloads and other just one before it crashes.  I
use a simple function in php to do the reload:

function reload_conf ( $conf ) {
        $socket = fsockopen("localhost","5038", $errno,
$errstr,
$timeout);
        fputs($socket, "Action: Login\r\n");
        fputs($socket, "UserName: user\r\n");
        fputs($socket, "Secret: password\r\n\r\n");
        fputs($socket, "Action: Command\r\n");

        switch ($conf) {
                case "sip":
                        fputs($socket, "Command: sip reload\r\n\r\n");
                        break;
                case "ext":
                        fputs($socket, "Command: dialplan reload\r\n\r
\n");
                        break;
                case "iax2":
                        fputs($socket, "Command: iax2
reload\r\n\r\n");
                        break;
                case "agent":
                        fputs($socket, "Command: module reload
chan_agent.so\r\n\r\n");
                        break;
                case "todo":
                        fputs($socket, "Command: reload\r\n\r\n");
                        break;
                default:
                        fputs($socket, "Command: dialplan reload\r\n\r
\n");
        }
        fclose($socket);
}

	Why would asterisk crash after reloading the dialplan?

Why don't you move to "real" realtime.. IMHO it doesn't take
so much
resources, as mysql is fast, especially if you have predictable
queries for which you can create indexes.. It's almost as reading from
memory.
