Hello Nikola,

Based on what is posted here, I can't think of any reason hwy there
would be a problem in the pollwake function that is timer / overflow
dependent.

I also didn't see any changes in the 2.6.32.y stable repository from
2.6.32.21 to the 2.6.32.28 release that appeared to be in the code path.

The only change that looks like it would even be in the same area is
r9549 [1], which prevents the wait_queues from being reinitialized
before the channel is unregistered, but then I've never personally seen
a case where someone actually hit that, and I can't be certain you did.
Also, that would be a race so the probability of hitting it on two
machines at the same time would be extremely low.

[1] http://svn.asterisk.org/view/dahdi?view=revision&revision=9549

So in summary: I'm not aware of any fixes for what you've seen in either DAHDI
or the 2.6.32 stable kernel. Sorry.

Cheers,
Shaun
