Summary:                    IAX2 channel gets stuck, causes CLI to get stuck, *
won't restart
Description: 
Using 1.4.21, I've just setup a VOIP incoming trunk from a third party
(Gradwell.co.uk) that connects via IAX.

When a call comes in on this trunk, the call often (>50% of the time) gets
'stuck' with no audio being passed and/or the channel stays up after the
end of the call.

When * gets into this state, an existing CLI won't do tab expansion of
commands and stalls if you try. (type show ch<TAB> and it just sits there
till I give it a keyboard interrupt).

Typing 'show channels' in full tends to show the channels the first time
and then shows nothing. Firing up another CLI and typing 'show channels' in
full again shows the channels the first time and then returns nothing. Tab
expansion also gets stuck after the first 'show channels'. ie:

asterisk*CLI> show channels
Channel              Location             State   Application(Data)       
     
SIP/112-0076cb60     (None)               Up      Bridged
Call(IAX2/GradwellVOIP
asterisk*CLI> show channels
asterisk*CLI> show ch<TAB>

The CLI stays like this till I kill it.

Starting a fresh CLI I get exactly the same as shown above.

The IAX2 channel never goes away. * won't restart (I have to kill -9).

I'm using 1.4.21. Reverting to 1.4.20.1 and the problem doesn't seem to
appear.

I even tried the patch 123391 and that didn't solve the problem.
