Description:If the "gatekeeper" is set to a ip address of a gatekeeper,
and anything goes wrong through the registration, asterisk dies.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

This is not usable in this case. The gatekeeper can be down on any grounds.... and the asterisk can never be started if the chan_h323 module shall be loaded.

I disagree, look at the H.323 spec, if a gatekeeper is in the network it SHALL be used. Leme see what I can do about this.

May be just to unload h.323 module when gatekeeper is configured and cannot be contacted instead of crash *?

Instead of killing Asterisk at load, just warn about GK Registration failure.  However, I can see a few potential problems with this simple fix. Mainly when u attempt to dial no Gatekeeper will be around to place your all and I am not able to test to see if Open H.323 will attempt another registration at dial.
