That is exactly what is happening. Portions of the issue has been fixed. 
Other areas are being looked at. The code is up on GitHub. Reviews are 
welcome. Pull requests (patches) are welcome.

I notice this most prominently with my RTCMs that are all on the same server connected to a hub on the same server. Allmon will show an negative number of connected hours followed shortly by a crash. Apparently this not just an RTCM problem, it just shows up there more readily because the nodes on the same server and aren't disconnecting due to network issues.

The second way is to crank in simulated packet loss with the IAX2 test command. It takes more time and patients for it to crash under this test. I believe both these tests demonstrate the same problem. There is something flaky in the area of IAX links within App_Rpt or Asterisk
