Hmmm alright, that's something to go on anyway.  In the meantime I've 
disabled all the agent stuff, and have begun to 'reimplement' it using 
dialplan logic to dynamically configure the queues and also remove people 
on timeout and such.  going to be a bit of work, but atleast i'll know 
it'll work.

We still had a number of issues with chan_agent apparently deadlocking, 
I'll have to investigate that seperately, but I haven't been able to 
reproduce it yet.
