Hi,
I have a debian server (6.0.7 - squeeze) with ejabberd (2.1.5-3+squeeze1). A few month ago it became unstable: it keeps stopping for no apparent reason. First it was running for a month or so before stopping, but recently it will only run a few hours, or less. Sometimes while I'm connected, sometimes when I'm offline.
There is no dump file, and there is nothing in the log showing any issue.
I turned on debbuging, this is what I can see in the log:

Does anybody have an idea what this could be? Is there a way to do further debugging?
Thanks in advance.

Those " " messages are
Those " " messages are probably the typical keep-alive messages some clients send every few seconds to ensure the connection is kept open. They are not necessary, but they are not reason for the problem you have: I think the problem is somewhere else.
If ejabberd stops kindly, it should show in the log some mention. If it crashes abruptly, it should leave a crash dump. So, if you have neither of them, I have no more clues.
