Yes it was to /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf (oh how I wish the
problem was being caused by something that simple!).

I know it's loading as Span 1 is working; making and taking calls with
no problem.

FWIW,

asterisk*CLI> dahdi show status

I've, obviously, been doing more trial-and-error and noticed that when I
run with libpri-1.4.11.5 (no other change, just install libpri and
restart asterisk) the ISDN causecode returned from a call on Span 2 is
actually 21 and not 18, as it is with libpri-1.4.12, and the channels on
span 2 don't get reset each time.  Weird.

This is driving me loopy as the 'old' ISDN PBX on span 2 is used as a
glorified 'channel bank' with fax machines, modems and other analogue
stuff on it that really does need to work :-(
