asterisk users - May 2007 - MusicOnHold() stops after exactly 60 seconds

Hi, folks:

Is there any reason why MusicOnHold() would die after 60 seconds? That
looks suspiciously like a default timeout. How can I make it indefinite?

Moral of the story -- don't work at 4 am.

The call terminates after 60 seconds because I never answered it. Changing:

exten => 1234,1,MusicOnHold()

to

exten => 1234,1,Answer()
exten => 1234,2,MusicOnHold()

fixed the problem.
