asterisk users - Jan 2004 - Broken macros during transferring call

Hi,

I have some issues with the use of macros when dialling. I use a macro,
similar to the stdexten macro to dial extensions. When I use the
astman program to transfer the recipient of a call made via the macro
to meetme for example it appears as if control is transferred into the
start state in the context of the caller. Hence the the extension that
you are trying to transfer to is lost and the transfer fails. Well.. actually,
it's failing today like that when transferring a call made to an iaxclient
located at a foreign iax server. Yesterday when I was testing to sip
clients located at a foreign iax server it appears as if control was passed
to state "2" with the extention in the context of the caller. The
second case
I was able to work around, the first case is not easy as I seem to loose
the extension that one is trying to transfer to.

Any clues as to the correct approach to solve this? Yesterday I solved it
by making sure that all calls are made by macros or gotos that never return
and then adding exten => _.,2,Goto(${CONTEXT},${EXTEN},1) into
the default context, however if it returns into the default context with the
start state like it does when I transfer a call made to a foreign iaxclient
I am unable to fix this.
