asterisk users - Jan 2009 - Why does Asterisk not hangup?

Hi!

I have the following scenario:
          Asterisk
INVITE-----> |
<--200,ACK-- |
           Playback(Foo)
              |
           Dial(..)
              | ---------INVITE----->
              | <-----404. ACK------>
              |
As my extension configuration stops after the Dial command I expect 
Asterisk to hang up the call. Instead I see on the console:
	     |
              |
   == Auto fallthrough, channel 'SIP/81.16.153.183-0883dea0' status is 
'CONGESTION'
              |
              |
       Then I hear the congestion tone
     for 10 secondes, then Asterisk sends BYE
              |
<-----BYE----|


Why does Asterisk not hangup immediately? Why 10 seconds congestion 
tone? Is this configurable?

thanks
klaus

Auto-fallthrough means that Asterisk couldn't find any more priority
numbers for the current extension, so it had to guess what the correct
course of action was (whether to hang up, play congestion, etc.).

If you want it to hangup instead of playing congestion, simply add
another priority to your extension (right after the call to the Dial()
application) which calls the Hangup() application explicitly.

at least in 1.4.22:

grep -r -A 10 -B 10 "Auto fallthrough" *
