It's a bug, because the "i" extension has a very limited intended usage, and any additional cases where the "i" extension is implicitly invoked is therefore a bug. This thread has convinced me not to change Goto in 1.6.0, but I absolutely defend fixing this bug in Gosub, given that I'm the designer of it, and it was never supposed to fail into the "i" extension. -- Tilghman _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
