I have a problem where my Asterisk server stops answering new TCP requests and begins to use 99.9% of the CPU on my box. The server is a 64bit Xeon with 2GB of ram. I haven't been able to recreate the problem but it occurs sometimes when there is a call coming from my provider (via IAX) to a customer (via IAX). The customer and the provider systems are running asterisk also. The call will end and the provider and the client's systems will show that it has ended (confirming with show channels). On my server however, it is still showing the active channels. This happened about once a week and since upgrading to 1.2.5 this morning from 1.2.4 it has happened twice. Does anyone know what is happening here? -Jonathan

Have you checked your system using top to see exactly what is sucking up the cpu?
