asterisk users - Jun 2008 - What does reason 8 for failure means in Manager

I tried to call a number on the ZAP channel through manager, I got an Unknown
reason for failure, with the following Originate Response.

Event: OriginateResponse 
Privilege: call,all 
Response: Failure 
Channel: Zap/G0/XXXXXXXX 
Context: callback 
Exten: 6563 
Reason: 8 
Uniqueid : NULL 
CallerID : 1234 
CallerIDNum: 1234 
CallerIDName: ABCD 

Can anyone Please let me know what does Reason 8 means here. 
I tried to place the same call using the SIP phone that I have and it worked
just fine.

Most of the time calls just go through fine, but sometime it fails, although the
number dialed is correct.

An '8' would be a congestion.
