It was very confusing to see the digits come up in the debug output without provoking any response from *. Ideally, I suppose, Background() would ignore *any* invalid digits, but that would require it to understand the dialplan, which is probably impractical. It would minimize the chances of talk-off, though. (Why are people talking during the menus, anyhow? ;) )
