Note: if you run Asterisk manually, it is a good idea to use '-U
asterisk' to make sure Asterisk won't accidentally create files as root
which will make it fail starting later on. But this is unrelated to the
current issue.

I suggest you try:

  strace -f asterisk -F -U asterisk

and see what is the last module loaded.

Alternatively, to get a stack trace:

  asterisk -g

You may or may not add '-U asterisk' here. You should run Asterisk from
a directory in which it has write access to, in order for it to be able
to dump core files.

In order for the stack trace to be usable, install:

  apt-get install gdb asterisk-dbg
