asterisk users - Nov 2004 - Zap FXO channel locked up with steady static (white noise)

I have a TMD40B and a TDM04B in my test evironment box, it is currently
running CVS-HEAD-10/30/04 on redhat 9. I am making a lot of changes to
the .conf files and reloading often.

Occaisionally I get one of my Zap trunks in a state where * thinks it is
idle, but every time a call is bridged to it you hear a hiss (white
noise, steady) and nothing will succeed. When you call the number
associted with the channel it rings, but * does not acknowledge the
ring. Unplugging the line from the card has no effect, and the line
status appears to also be idle.

The only thing I have found that will reset it is a shut down and power
off of the box. Any ideas?

Several of us have seen the exact same thing on the fxo ports since the
card came out. Some have had luck stopping asterisk, unloading the 
drivers, reload, etc. Not sure if a bug report has ever been opened.
