can you enable the coredumps (launching from a bash shell script
with coredump unlimited, man bash I don't remember the details),
to see why it fails.

You could add a 

   while :
   do
      /sbin/init.d/diald start  # assuming doesn't detach
   done

Did you set -v (debug) for chatting ?  Maybe it's just the modem
gone nuts. On the same system usually I have mgetty, which handles
the modem very reliably. Some modems need gentle reset.

and I run SuSE 5.x, not 6.x. (ie libc5).

Some hints and configs are there:

If it's not sufficient I will dig in my stuff. However you PRESUMABLY
have a modem setup problem, we will know more when chat debug is
enabled.
