Summary:                    [patch] Status of dahdi/zap channels incorrectly
reported unavailable instead of idle
Description: 
Using the latest asterisk 1.4 releases, the state of a zaptel/dahdi
extension in idle is incorrecly reported with core show hints. For example
this is the output of a zaptel installation:
271 at ext-local           : ZAP/32                State:Unavailable    
Watchers  0

Or this is with dahdi:
521 at ext-local           : DAHDI/1               State:Unavailable    
Watchers  1

Instead ringing and inuse is correcly reported:
521 at ext-local           : DAHDI/1               State:Ringing        
Watchers  1

With an old 1.2 asterisk the status is always correct:
251                 : ZAP/32                State:Idle            Watchers
 0

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I can verify this behavior is still this way using the latest asterisk
1.6.2.8-rc1
and dahdi-linux-2.3.0. Dahdi channel hints are state unavailable when they
should be idle. The patch works but it is a hack, so dahdi channels that
are really unavailable (like on a pri or a channel bank that is down) show
up as idle.
