  Ok. So here is our reasoning according to collected info. Please
  correct us where appropriate:

  1. The system is supposed to hang while the firmware loads into
      the DSPs under any zaptel version
  2. zaptel 1.4.10 leads to a soft hangup detected, zaptel 1.4.9.2
     does not (assuming softhangup detection active in kernel)
  3. zaptel 1.4.10 takes much longer ztcfg'ing than 1.4.9.2, that's
      why the soft hangup is detected under zaptel 1.4.10
      (difficult to time, but let's say 1.4.10 takes 10s, 1.4.9.2
       takes 3s)

  Now, back to the original question:

  - Should this be considered a regression ?
  - Next steps:
    a) file a bug and move this analysis to the bug tracker
    b) don't file bug and move analysis to the dev list
    c) don't file bug, keep on working on the users list

  Did you mean this instead ?

  "...so you might stay with 1.4.9.2 if you are not having any issues with it."

  We think so. Again, thanks for clarifying.
