asterisk users - Mar 2009 - BACKGROUNDSTATUS not available?

Hello,
According to this page:
http://bugs.digium.com/svnstats/asterisk/trunk/2006-09.html#298 a
BACKGROUNDSTATUS variable was added in 2006 with revision 43814. As far as I
can understand it should return different values wether the file played with
a Background() command was played through or interrupted while playing. But
no matter what, GET VARIABLE BACKGROUNDSTATUS returns 0. Asterisk 1.4.18.

Any solutions to this?

Regard,

I didn't see it in core show application background.

However, surely it doesn't make much sense.

exten => s,1,Background(some-file)
exten => s,2,NoOp(Listened all the way through)
exten => 1,1,NoOp(Pressed one)
