It looks like this must have happened during Bell's testing. It turned
out the customer's CSU really has died (or at least failed to continue
working properly). It wasn't until about 45 minutes after we replaced it
that the circuit started working though. As I suspected, when I called
Bell to ask about the half looped circuit, there was nothing in the
ticket, but the tech admitted that it's not that unusual for someone
to accidentally do that to some random circuit while testing another.
