Ooops

I'd just like to apologise to those that I accidentally DoSed today. A small bug in the music on hold process on my new call server started sending packets as if there were 10,000 calls on hold and caused some annoyance to our phone carriers. It was only for a few minutes. I believe we have solved this now, and we have added automated checks for any of the processes running away with themselves. Sorry.
