asterisk users - Sep 2006 - Problem withfeature introducer as first digit on a call

I am using asterisk branch 1.2 revision 42600 and zaptel 1.9 and I am
having a strange problem -- if I hit * as the first dtmf once a call
is answered, everything dies, no audio from the other end and nothing
works again till the other endhangs up.  I get the following log
entries:

Sep 13 08:13:57 DEBUG[18499] chan_zap.c: DTMF digit: * on Zap/1-1
Sep 13 08:13:57 DEBUG[18499] channel.c: Got DTMF on channel (Zap/1-1)
Sep 13 08:13:57 DEBUG[18499] channel.c: Bridge stops bridging channels
Zap/1-1 and SIP/viatalk-08174600
Sep 13 08:13:57 DEBUG[18499] res_features.c: Feature interpret:

Sep 13 08:13:57 DEBUG[18499] channel.c: Nobody there, continuing...

That last line is it the problem and how can I fix this?

Any assistance would be appreciated.


Here is my features.conf :
