Summary:                    res_features.c don't return calls to the [park-call]
"t" extension. when the extension is busy and the parktime occurs
Description: 
When I send calls to parkinglot, and the timeout occurs, the parked call
return to the park generator exten. When it's busy the channel on park
hangup.
I thing, the call should return to [park-call] "t" exten when it occurs.

What happens when it returns (excepting ParkAndAnnounce) is that it dials
the base name of the requesting channel.  If that only supports one
call,and is already in a call, yes it will be busy and the call will fail! 
In my view, therefore, it is doing all that is reasonably possible.

I see two possibilities here:

1) you change this to a feature request and specify the behaviour more
precisely, e.g. what happens to the call that made the line busy.

2) you park the call in such a way that the parker is a queue and the line
you want to return to is a member of that queue.

Also note that, if you can arrange to use ParkAndAnnounce, the call is
returned to dialplan logic and that may open up your options.

Moreover, unless you use ParkAndAnnounce, the call is not returned to an
extension in the sense that Asterisk uses the word, It is returned to an
app_dial string, i.e. the sort of thing that you put in the first parameter
of the Dial() application.

(I'm just learning exactly how Park works, so I hope I haven't exceeded
the limits of my understanding.)
