Summary:                    [regression] DTMF on agent channel causes high CPU
Description: 
We've recently updated Asterisk to the latest 1.4 version. 
Since then, pressing a DTMF key on an agent channel causes CPU load on a
specific thread to rise with about 10%. Every time a DMTF key is pressed
the CPU load goes up - and it never goes back down again until the agent
logs out.

This results in our entire server going to 0% idle within 20 key presses.

Is there a way to disable DMTF while this bug is being solved so we can at
least make it through?

Fix CPU spike when pressing DTMF after agent login.

The problem here is that DTMF was being continuously deferred and requeued
since ast_safe_sleep is called in a loop. There are serveral other places
in the
code that sleeps and then loops in a similar fashion. Because of this fact
I
opted to not defer DTMF any more, which will not affect the original fix:
