asterisk users - Jun 2003 - is "zap destroy channel" safe?

I have used "zap destroy channel" a few times to hang up on a
caller, but each time, things seemed to go badly wrong soon after.  The
first time, I could no longer connect to the asterisk console, and this
latest time, the program segfaulted a few minutes later.

Is this "zap destroy channel" not something that should be used on a
production system?

Definitely not.  Use "soft hangup". zap destroy channel takes the
channel
entirely out of service.
