Summary:                    All channels get Congestion following PTP MDL can't
handle error of type F message
Description: 
Hi there,

We have a travel company in the UK experiencing unusually high call
volumes.

We upraded their asterisk to SVN versions of LibPri (1.4), Dahdi (2.3
branch) and Asterisk (1.6.1) in order to get a patch for another bug.

This morning the system fell over, with all dial attempts to their PBX
giving

Unable to create channel of type 'DAHDI' (cause 34 - Circuit/channel
congestion)

Asterisk had to be restarted to restore service.

This was immediately preceded by the following:

[Apr 21 09:03:14] ERROR[17042] chan_dahdi.c: PTP MDL can't handle error of
type F
[Apr 21 09:03:14] ERROR[17042] chan_dahdi.c: MDL-ERROR (F), SABME in state

[Apr 21 09:03:14] ERROR[17042] chan_dahdi.c: PTP MDL can't handle error of
type F
[Apr 21 09:03:14] ERROR[17042] chan_dahdi.c: MDL-ERROR (F), SABME in state
7

They're using a Digium TE205P.  No Alarms were thrown.

CLI 'dahdi restart' fixed it.
 
Wasn't debugging at the time, so sorry no further information.
