asterisk users - Dec 2005 - unplugging E1 cables while asterisk running

Yesterday I've had to unplug one cable coming from a TE410 card to plug 
it in another hole, due to provider's changes in the patch panel.
The calls on that span stopped working (can't create zap channel), the 
problem was solved restarting asterisk.
Note that the PRI termination hasn't changed, only moved the cables 
connecting the card to it from one patch panel to another.
The cable's guy told me that unplugging and quickly replugging E1 cables 
isn't a problem on traditional systems,  anyone konws the reason or if 
it is a bug that should be reported ?

unplugging PRI cables generates major alarms on ALL telecom systems...
in our lab, we do that every day and don't have to restart anything...

What version are you running?
In 1.0.9 and CVS HEAD of the 1.2 branch I do it all the time and I
don't have to restart.
