(PM) Stuck PM3 ports

I've got a confusing problem, and I'm hoping someone has seen this before
and can shed some light on it. I have a customer dialing ISDN DOV to my PM3,
and after he disconnects, the port(s) he was connected to still show him as
using those ports. Pinging the IP addresses of the "dead" ports shows he
has, indeed, disconnected. If I manually reset the ports in question, the
ports show themselves available again. Otherwise, I have to wait 15 to 20
minutes for the ports to clear. Something really strange, though--PMVision
shows the ports are clear and available, but a query of OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1
(iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).mgmt(2).mib-2(1).interfaces(2).ifNumber(1)
) shows that more ports are in use than are currently being reported by
PMVision. Note that a "sh ses" from the command line produces the same
results as PMVision. What's the story? Are these "phantom in-use" ports
really used? I haven't had enough load on the PM3 to be able to determine if
people are getting busies due to this problem, but I'm concerned. Input
welcome...
