Summary:                    parking an outbound calls loses GROUP() channel
count information
Description: 
When you make an outbound call and count the channel with the GROUP() count
feature (so you can limit the calls to that channel), and then subsequently
park the call, the channel is removed from that list of counted calls. And
retrieving the call, it is still gone.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
after some discussion with Jared Smith, it looks like we are using GROUP()
a bit wrong. When I change the code to:

exten => s,n,Set(OUTBOUND_GROUP=OUT_${DIAL_TRUNK})

that solves the problem, only leaving a slight race condition in case 2
calls are going out at the same time, since the count is not incremented
until the call is dialed. But this seems to clarify that this is not
necessarily a bug as first thought. So if it all looks clean to you, I
guess you can go ahead and close the ticket.
