asterisk users - Jun 2006 - show channel issue with 1.2.9

has anyone else noticed what appears to be a threading issue in asterisk
1.2.9 (it broke sometime between 1.2.4 and 1.2.9) where if you have
about > 50 calls and do  
asterisk -rx show channels  
it will display the header but nothing about channels, total calls,
active calls, etc.

I believe this has been a known problem for a while, where 'asterisk
-rx' does not reliably wait until the output has been generated/flushed
before exiting the remote console process. Why it would have suddenly started
affecting you I can't guess :-)
