[Asterisk-Users] Zap/pseudo channels persistent... why?

[Jerry Glomph Black]

I've recently upgraded to Asterisk 1.0.9 on a system which gets frequent use, 
mainly for MeetMe calls.  After running for a while (a few days), the channel 
list gradually accumulates a bunch of these Zap/pseudo thingies, which just sit 
in the channel list forever.  This accumulation is definitely related to MeetMe 
activity, but does not always happen as a result of MeetMe calls.

The presence of these doesn't seem to have any bad effects, OTHER than the fact 
that the 'restart' CLI command does not effect a restart, it just seizes the 
process, which has to be "kill -9" to get service back.

Any idea what's going on here?
