Care to explain how this code works?

Yes, Asterisk is a great PBX, and I'm very grateful to Mark for making
it available under GPL.  I'm having a blast playing with it and
learning how things work.  This is one very fun toy!

On the other hand, the folks thinking that asterisk is as safe as
sendmail or bind need to read the code a bit more closely.  I have no
doubts it will be great some day very soon, but it isn't quite there
yet.
