Timing may be provided from one of two sources in Asterisk 1.6.1: 
res_timing_dahdi.so (get timing from DAHDI), and res_timing_pthread.so (use 
pthread library for timing). There are a couple of ways to fix your problem, 
assuming that the timing module you want to use is res_timing_dahdi.so.

1) Remove res_timing_pthread.so from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules and restart Asterisk
2) In modules.conf, add noload => res_timing_pthread.so
3) While not a requirement, you can also make menuselect and disable 
res_timing_pthread.so from being built at all. The module can be found under the 
Resource Modules menu.

It looks as though the timing modules for 1.6.1 are not well-documented, and 
Menuselect should be altered to not allow for both modules to be built. We'll 
get to work getting this documented better.
