Summary
-------

action_bridge() and bridge_exec() both search for the channels to bridge to, and then immediately drop the lock.  Instead, they should hold the lock until the masquerade is complete.  This will guarantee the channel remains and prevent any other weirdness from occurring.  In action_bridge() some more weirdness comes into play.  Both channels are needlessly locked at the same time and perform the exact same logic.  It makes sense from a coding organizational standpoint, but could cause a theoretical deadlock so I split the code up.  There is an issue associated with this, but since its a rather complicated thing to reproduce I'm not certain this allow will close it.
