Summary:                    SIP channel stops processing calls, but no apparent
deadlock
Description: 
Approximately once per week we are seeing asterisk stop processing SIP
calls. The behavior is the same as a deadlock, but core show locks does not
show any evidence that there is a deadlock. 

The only way to resolve is to restart asterisk. 

output of:
core show locks
info thread
thread apply all bt

from the running process is attached.

There is a small bug in the lock code making Asterisk to produce flood of
"Deadlock?" messages every 5 seconds. Note that it is not a bug with
locking itself - only with deadlock diagnostics and reporting.

I'm attaching the patch (lockrep.patch) which should prevent asterisk from
flooding exactly the same message several times a second. Could you please
give it a try?
