Summary:                    Dial h option not operating as defined when
disconnect redefined in features.conf
Description: 
when making a call with the 'h' and 'H' set and disconnect redefined in
features.conf, the called party can not hang up by pressing '*' they must
hangup by pressing '**'

The above is a real bug. The bigger issue which I guess borders on a
feature request is the inconsistency. Here is the scenario. You define the
hangup code a '*' and you include 'H' in your dial options so the calling
party can initiate a hangup. But you redefine the disconnect code to '**'
because '*' is not a very useful disconnect code given the issue it can
cause when calling outside IVRs.

While the phone is ringing, pressing a single '*' disconnects the call, as
documented in the Dial() application. Once answered, '**' disconnects it.
In my humble opinion, the Dial() application should be consistent and
should use what is defined in features.conf - it is what users of the
system would expect.
