Summary:                    Background behaves strangely[t when priority 1 is
not available in current extension.
Description: 
Apparently whatever extension lookup method is being used by BackGround
fails when the extension calling BackGround does not have priority 1 in the
current context.  I discovered this when including an IVR menu into another
context using a 50000 offset to extension 's' and a named priority.  See
additional information for a quick sample.

In the example below, if a caller is sent to Goto(tree-dish-AK-ANC,s,1)
the extension detection fails with:

[Mar 23 19:17:41]     -- Sent into invalid extension 's' in context
'tree-dish-common' on SIP/0011-Sales-0000001c
[Mar 23 19:17:41]     -- Executing [i at tree-dish-common:1]
Gosub("SIP/0011-Sales-0000001c", "s,common") in new stack

If I attempt to dial a 4 digit extension starting with 0 when a '0'
extension exists.  Something is 'wonky' if I can get technical with you
all.

Previously [tree-dish-AK-ANC] included [tree-dish-common] and simply went
to the named priority at priority 50000 via a local Goto which may have
worked.. untested.  

I can see how some users may want to jump into a named priority in another
context and use DTMF detection of some kind.  If the extension does not
have priority 1 this will fail.
