We're seeing some pretty horrid graphs from our predictive dialer which
is doing show channels concise.

Basically channel count drops from 200 to 0 and then back to 200 in the
blink of an eye - we don't even parse it unless we get the "response
complete" message (or whatever it is).

Some of the machines are pretty highly loaded.

Is there any way we can increase the amount of time it waits for a
channel lock, or stop it from reporting the data if it is unable to
present it correctly?
