Summary:                    [patch] func_devstate not updating Custom hints, and
not in sync with ASTDB
Description: 
astdb is always being updated, but sometimes hints are not.
It's not consistant, as I type this bug, it will come right and work
correctly for a while, then go wrong.

astrid*CLI> database show CustomDevstate
...
/CustomDevstate/q8501_a8512                       : INUSE
...

astrid*CLI> core show hints
            8501GXP0001 at BLF_Group_1         : Custom:q8501_a8512   
State:Idle            Watchers  1

further manipulation from the command line.

astrid*CLI> devstate change Custom:q8501_a8512 NOT_INUSE
Changing q8501_a8512 to NOT_INUSE
  == Extension Changed 8501GXP0001[BLF_Group_1] new state InUse for Notify
User GXP0001

astrid*CLI> devstate change Custom:q8501_a8512 INUSE
Changing q8501_a8512 to INUSE
  == Extension Changed 8501GXP0001[BLF_Group_1] new state Idle for Notify
User GXP0001

But the weirdest thing, the BLF lamp on the phone comes right after approx
35 seconds, but still the Hint is incorrect.

Why target 1.6.1, it's been a problem for us since 1.6.0-rc6.

Even in 1.4.18 before we went to 1.6.0 using the BLF lights for
CustomDevice states didn't work properly, although 1.4 required the
devstate backport.

Are we going to leave this as a workaround, or can you fix the scheduling
or what ever is required to prevent the race condition?
