Summary:                    Hinting not working reliably
Description: 
We are using Aastra 9133i's for most desk phones, and an Aastra 57i with a
560M sidecar module for the blf monitoring.

What we have been finding is that the BLF monitoring is not working
reliably.  Often times a subscription might take up to eight hours to start
showing up as a watcher in Asterisk (as was the case for monitoring zaptel
channels).  Other hints (about 10% of our hints) show up as idle when
they're busy (and they're consistent with that), and the rest seem to work
normal.  Hints registered for parked lines will not show up as watchers,
period.

hints are also working weird for me...
I have in friend (http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=324) config definition:
  Call limit   : 2
  Busy level   : 1

when I make call from 324 to somewhere (Call limit peers only:  No)...
sip show inuse
* User name               In use          Limit
324                       1               2
* Peer name               In use          Limit
324                       0/0/0           2


 core show hints
                    324 at linestates          : SIP/324              
State:Idle            Watchers  0


when I set 'Call limit peers only:  Yes' and make same call (from
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=324)
sip show inuse
* User name               In use          Limit
324                       0               2
* Peer name               In use          Limit
324                       1/0/0           2

core show hints   

                    324 at linestates          : SIP/324              
State:Busy            Watchers  0

dialplan:
context linestates {
        hint(SIP/324) 324 => NoOP;
}
