asterisk users - Nov 2003 - dialing 8 in VM2 causes channel lockup?

Hi guys,

I'm running Asterisk-0.5.0 and accidentally stumbled on this problem 
while in the VoicemailMain2 application:

If you login to it, or even if you call it w/ 's<extension>' to
skip the
login and press an '8' near the beginning (and possibly at any point, 
I'm not sure), the channel seems to lockup, even if the handset is 
hungup, the channel remains frozen in that state in the VoicemailMain2 
app.  The only way I can discover to fix the problem is to completely 
restart Asterisk, and even that doesn't happen immediately--it seems to 
take a minute or so.

I took a look at the archives and googled, but didn't see any mention of 
this problem.  Also, it doesn't seem to happen in VoicemailMain.

Anyone run across this?  Can anyone duplicate the problem?

Thanks,

jl

Well i'll be it even does it in CVS.

I just tried it here and I also got the same thing!  It sure locks that port up
good!  You your correct you need to shut Asterisk down then backup!
