But if it does start, any operations in Asterisk that rely on the timing
being available will fail silently, and be incredibly hard to diagnose
and resolve. This is why we added the timer check to Asterisk.

One possible workaround would be for users to use res_timing_pthread
instead of res_timing_dahdi.
