asterisk users - Jul 2005 - [Asterisk-Dev] CRITICAL PATCH for anyone using the L option in dial.

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4760

If you use the L() option on dial and say the latest CVS-HEAD in the  
past month you're potentially getting screwed out of a lot of money.

We originally wrote the L() option for dial and it worked great till  
someone came along and hijacked the timer for something else thus  
causing the L option to fail/reset the timer to zero thus causing it  
to never timeout if someone were to say press a DTMF digit.

So if you use this please test this and report back to the bug ASAP.

Thanks,
Brian West

This is not the right list probably, and I do appreciate the warning. But 
maybe you can educate me on how it can be hijacked, provided the code is 
fully modular, which I assume projects like these are? 

I've seen other things which I don't get, of course I've not looked
through
the code to get a feel for how it's written as I'm not much of a C 
programmer. So I'm hoping that someone could give me at least a conceptual 
understanding of how this goes... Are people simply too sloppy or is it just 
me? : )
