Summary:                    [patch] DISA does not accept extensions beginning
with "#"
Description: 
As those familiar with central office and PBX dialplans in North America
know, while "#" is often used as a terminator for variable length numbers,
it has always also been accepted as an initial character.

When I recently (finally, now that Mac OS X seems to work with the latest
patches) upgraded my production PBX to 1.4, I discovered that I was unable
to dial extensions in a DISA's context which had the pattern "_#XX"

To correct this, in the check for an extension terminated by '#' (line 301
of app_disa.c), I now also check for "i>0", so that the test only succeeds
and breaks out of the loop if the '#' is not the first character.

To comply with industry standards and practice, I suggest and request this
patch become a permanent part of Asterisk.
