[asterisk-users] Problems with losing D-Channel on

I also intermittently get the Short write error followed by a cascade of Zap
alarms, the funny part is I always get an alarm clear exactly 5 seconds after
the first red alarm. The carrier always notes no drop. This happens on a variety
of digium hardware, all connected to T1 PRI, some in NFAS. The fact that it
happens on multiple cards, platforms, and configurations leads me to believe
this may be a driver issue.
