[Asterisk-Dev] Zap show channels bug?

[Pertti Pikkarainen]

It is very difficult to notice because the numbers appear to be ok.
How could you tell ?
Obviously when you see yourself talking  -  and you really are not  :-)    -
you start wondering ...
This is how I started to follow this a little closer.  I noticed my 
cellular phone number
there that I had used earlier to call in.  After that more similar cases 
turned out.
