Summary:                    Calls parked fail to return to the correct phone
after timeout
Description: 
Calls put in park (parkedcalls feature) are put in park and can be picked
up correctly.

BUT when timeout occurs, instead of the phone that put the call on park
ringing back, the phone that was put in the parking extension rings back.
(i.e. the caller phone rings itself).  This happens about 20% of the time.

(this describes a SIP Phone - Asterisk - SIP phone call, but failure is
also seen on an external call being put in park.  But the result is a weird
hangup instead of a phone calling itself back)

Yes, blind transfers worked.  Doing an attended transfer where you don't
wait to hear the number and just go ahead and complete it (like you
mentioned doing in your previous message) were what was broken.  That is
fixed in the referenced patch.  We have started calling that kind of
transfer a "blonde transfer" because it is a complete misuse of the
attended transfer function that causes all kinds of problems for us. 
Unfortunately, telling people that it is dumb to use an attended transfer
like a blind transfer isn't a solution.

So, yes, please test the patch and see if it fixes your issues.
