Ok, I've looked through the users list, asked for others, and it seems at least 3 people have seen this bug.
So here's a report, forwarded from my users list version. Similar problems have been reported by Jacob Madsen and Dermot Reynolds. Jacob gets it only with AT2, I get the same problem using only emi2. > Sometimes, for reasons unknown, (i.e. the log doesn't say), > our kannel system (cvs Mar 14 on Linux) shuts down and restarts. > > This is not great behavior (the log should record why!), but it > gets worse: When kannel restarts, it finds that some bearerbox > processes are still running!
