Summary:                    [patch] Seems Like ast_read / timerfd_timer_ack
Causes lockups and resource drain
Description: 
The system locks up eventually and as it is holding a channel lock things
like pickup and walking channels locked will cause a deadlock ...

i have reverted to dahdi timer that is not prone to this problem.

I have the same issue with the current Asterisk 1.6.2 SVN version.
Launching MeetMe with a few hundreds users at a single conference almost
always leaves a few deadlocked MeetMe users (usually 1-4). Attaching GDB to
a running Asterisk show deadlocked MeetMe threads waiting in the
timerfd_timer_ack read call. The dealock occurs when these users are about
to hang up (VoIP channels are hung up correctly, only MeetMe users in a
conference are left deadlocked).
