Summary:                    Queue is treated as empty if it isn't, but no agents
meet the QUEUE_MIN_PENALTY and QUEUE_MAX_PENALTY criteria
Description: 

In a situation where a call is placed into a queue as follows:

exten => s,n,Set(QUEUE_MAX_PENALTY=1)
exten => s,n,Set(QUEUE_MIN_PENALTY=1)
exten =>
s,n,Queue(${ORGCODE}_${ORGQUEUE},ih,,${ORGCODE}/announce-incoming)
)
The queue is deemed to be empty if there are no agents with a penalty of 1
as a member of the queue.

We use queuerules.conf to raise the QUEUE_MAX_PENALTY value to overflow
calls to other departments and in our case (and I can imagine, other
people's too), it is perfectly legitimate to have members with a penalty of
2 logged in and no members with penalty 1.

As a result of this, the function QUEUE_MEMBER() returns incorrect data
(i.e. QUEUE_MEMBER(free) may return the "number of logged-in members for
the specified queue available to take a call" as 10, but in reality and
because of the penalty issue, it is zero.

I have been able to work around this by checking QUEUE_MEMBER(count) after
I receive a JOINEMPTY bounce out, incrementing QUEUE_MAX_PRIORITY and
trying again, but this is far from ideal!

I must be doing something silly - apologies, but still getting hunk 4
failing.
