Looks like it should work to me, even if you poke the thread while it's not currently asleep.

> RFC3261 states that Timer A should start at 500ms (T1) by default.  In chan_sip this value initially started at 1000ms and I changed it to 500ms recently. After doing that I noticed in my packet captures that it still occasionally retransmitted starting at 1000ms instead of 500ms like I told it to.  This occurs because the scheduler runs in the do_monitor thread.  If a new retransmission is added while the do_monitor thread is sleeping then it may not detect that retransmission for nearly 1000ms.  To fix this I just poke the do_monitor thread to wake up when a new packet is sent reliably requiring retransmits.  The thread then detects the new scheduler entry and adjusts its sleep time to account for it.
