Summary:                    Asterisk plays a continuous tone forever if it never
receives a 2833 end packet
Description: 
I am running asterisk 1.4.21.1, but have also reproduced this issue with
1.6.1-rc1.

Asterisk is bridging a call between two endpoints, both using rfc2833 for
digit detection.

SBC (192.168.196.40) --> asterisk (192.168.196.33) --> IP Phone
(192.168.196.181).

Asterisk receives a single rfc2833 digit with a duration of 320 (no end
packet) from 196.40.  Asterisk then sends a continuous stream of 2833
events towards the other end with increasing duration, causing a continuous
tone to be played.  Asterisk also stops sending rtp towards 196.181 while
sending the 2833 events.

I believe that this is not compliant with rfc2833.

Would it be better if the 2833 packets were simply forwarded on if
bridging between two peers that both do 2833?  At least the tone should not
last forever, and should not block rtp.   This 2833 packet originated from
an Adtran TA904 gateway that falsely detected a digit when none was pressed
(talk off).

I will attach a packet capture after submitting this ticket.
