Summary:                    Deadlock during processing of IAM
Description: 
During high call volumes, the SS7 Link goes down. 
The reason is, that there is a potenial Deadlock Situation in chan_zap.

Below is the relevant (as I can see) part of the CLI commando core show
locks.

Afer some looks inside the Code i came to teh opinion, that there is a
race-condition in the function ss7_start_call.

In the function, a new channel gets created with the flag, to start pbx on
that channel.
c = zt_new(p, AST_STATE_RING, 1, SUB_REAL, law, 0);

After that, the Channel gets a log of SS7 related Variables set. During
these operations, the deadlock happens.

So, may it help, to create the channel, without starting the pbx on it,
and call ast_pbx_run(c) after setting the variables ?

Matt, the patch seems to work. I wasn't able to reproduce the deadlock.
Thanks for the fix.
