asterisk users - Nov 2009 - destroy zombie session

Hi all,
Some time ago I posted an issue regarding the hangup of active calls from the
CLI and someone told me that "soft hangup" should work. Well, in fact
it does work, but only if the channel is known, i.e. it doesn't work for
zombie channels. For example, I have this scenario (CLI output of command
"iax2 show channels")

IP-AM-PBX*CLI> iax2 show channels
Channel               Peer             Username    ID (Lo/Rem)  Seq (Tx/Rx)  Lag
Jitter  JitBuf  Format
(None)                10.229.47.113    REMOTE_SER  06818/14174  00002/00002 
00000ms  -0001ms  0000ms  unknow
1 active IAX channel
IP-AM-PBX*CLI>

Here I can't issue "soft hangup" command because I haven't a
channel to specify ("None" is not a choice :) ).
Now the question is: is there a way to drop this (zombie) channel off and
release frozen resources? Restarting asterisk is not an option (or maybe the
last chance if I have no other way to achieve this result :))

Thanks in advance for your replies.
Cheers,

Alberto Aggio.

What does the "zombie" call look like in "core show
channels"?
