Summary:                    [patch] On Darwin, pbx_spool stops looking for work
after 20-30 minutes of idle time
Description: 
after a while, call files sit unprocessed in the outgoing spool directory.

upon restart, they are processed, and new files are processed for a while.

this problem seems to be suppressed by having a call file execute once a
minute

core show threads attached, but it doesn't look any different before or
after the failure.

As I said, in pbx_spool.c

I don't consider it a real fix; just a temporary workaround.

Did you also try tilghman's proposed patch (which didn't work for me)?

Since it isn't a fix, just a workaround, I'm not going to upload it, but
you can grab it from http://www6.covert.org/asterisk/

Walter, please stick around and help out with Darwin testing.  We need a
lot more of it.  IAX especially seems to be a problem now.
