I experience similar problems with rel_0_9_0 SER on RedHat 9. It could 
work for a week without problems, then it could crash 2 times within a 
day on reception of REGISTER requests from the same agents that worked 
fine before. The server load is very low, (one to ten registered 
clients; one to six concurrent calls).

I thought my problems could be caused by oracle module I use or by 
some modifications to SER sources, but looks like they are very 
similar to yours. Do you use any non-standard modules or SER patches 
as I do?

A bit more details to compare: NAT-Pass evaluation (proprietary NAT 
traversal solution) is installed on the same PC with SER. Some 
requests go directly to SER, but some go via NAT-Pass.

P.S.
  I successfully stress-tested my SER with hundreds of thousands 
REGISTER requests via sipsak. So, I suspect the problem could be in a 
particular request field formatting or in particular sequence of 
REGISTERs.

P.P.S.
  I have no time right now to investigate the problem in deep. But 
certainly I'll try to catch it in near future.
