asterisk users - Sep 2023 - Asterisk 18.14.0 vs 18.18.0 and chan_console/chan_alsa

> After a hung call, can you run core restart now from the asterisk console?
Doing a "killall -9 asterisk" is the only thing that works
I tried killall asterisk - does not free up the channel
the asterisk "core restart now" takes like a good 20 seconds to return
but
does work.

The issue is I cannot run it after teh Dial() as the
Dial(Console/default,20,g) never returns to the dial plan.

I have found that I can add the restart of asterisk (killall -9 asterisk)
to the h extension- BOY is that UGLY.

chan_console is not a testing device - how can we get this nasty bug fixed ?
