asterisk users - May 2005 - Dial plan - does not stop after first match

My dial plan seems to work great - in that when I call extensions 1234
it connects to 1234.  Strangely, after the call terminates (the other
side hangs up first), Asterisk continues in the same context and then
matches to extensions _. which causes an invalid extension error!
 
Why does asterisk not leave the context (called internalmenu) after the
remote hangup?  Instead, it continues to the InternalInvalid context
(included later in the InternalMenu context).   I'm confused!
 
Here is a snippet of the relevant context and macro.  Thanks,
Mike

But that's exactly what your dialplan ask asterisk to do: keep doing  
stuff after the call has hanged up.
If you do not want to continue after Dial, then make sure there a  
Hangup and nothing else after that.
