I just tried first the same call scenario without enabling dumping the core
file and verbosity on my newly built asterisk-1.4.11~dfsg-1 on my Debian
GNU/Linux Etch and still, the Asterisk crashed.  I will try again performing
the same call scenario with the core dump enable on my side so that I can
send you the core dump file later on.  After that, I will download and
install the binary Asterisk related packages that you have from
http://pkg-voip.buildserver.net/ and perform again the same call scenario on
my side if the Asterisk will still crash.

Anyway, below is the banner I got when entering to the Asterisk shell and
following the version of my Asterisk:

To a PSTN telephone through what?

Zaptel using the Digium's Dev Kit TDM400P with 1 FXO and 1 FXS.

What version of zaptel are you using?

# dpkg -l | grep zaptel
ii  zaptel                       1.4.5~dfsg-1                       zapata

Please provide as much information as possible. Whatever you may think

I am using an OpenWengo SIP softphone on top of MS Windows XP laptop
connected through a wireless network to the Asterisk PBX.  Now, my PBX
server hardware is based on an old Intel Celeron 1Ghz with 512MB RAM,
Digium's Dev Kit with 1 FXO and 1 FXS, and an Atheros AR5005G PCMCIA card
because this server of mine also act as my access point, firewall, gateway
and router.

I will list down below the information related to software:

# cat /etc/debian_version
4.0

# uname -r
2.6.18-5-686

# dpkg -l | grep asterisk
ii  asterisk                     1.4.11~dfsg-1                      Open

library (runtime)

I personally built the above packages on my Debian GNU/Linux Etch
workstation and I got the source packages from the Debian Unstable
repository.

Unfortunately, it is working fine for me and for many others, so it is

Please do this scenario maybe at least 5 times until your Asterisk crash.
Your call will be disconnected between 1 to 3 minutes but try to dial again
and again even if you get an error because for sure, your zap channel will
not be released, until such time that you can dial again to a PSTN number.

All in all, a proper core dump with a known version will help us most.

Ok, I will do this later..

Thank you.
