Summary:                    Stuck in vicious loop
Description: 
We have a very large company directory list and we may have up to say 50
"Smith" last names.  In Asterisk Business Edition rev C, the caller does
not have the option to break out of the listening to all 50 names before
going back to the main directory menu.

We find this to be a bug.  Is there a key sequence we are not aware of
that allows the caller to break out of either the listing of all 50 names
or out of the directory application completely?  

Does newer version of Asterisk provide a fix or work-around for this?

OK, I was unaware that C.1.x was no longer supported by Digium.

I'll Acknowledge this issue then. If someone can reproduce this on the
latest version of Asterisk (ideally the reporter, along with a sample set
of configurations to make it easy to reproduce) then that'd be good.

While this is inconvenient, this is a borderline feature request, although
I can see how not having something like this can make Directory() somewhat
useless.
