You can safely ignore this. There is an open issue [1] for this is
the DAHDI-Tools project on the issue tracker.

Interesting. This looks fine then and it's most likely a result of
the dahdi_test process not being scheduled on your system in a
timely fashion. Your cummulative timing results were 99.997% which
is good.

What do you get when you run:
	$ chrt -f 99 dahdi_test -v -c 5

That will run the dahdi_test process at the highest possible
priority.
