[Asterisk-Dev] bug or feature ? extension not found...

[Luigi Rizzo]

bug identified (will post on mantis later).
The thing is, regexten/regcontext create a context in the
global list. pbx_config instead creates contexts in a
temporary list, local_contexts, and then calls
ast_merge_contexts_and_delete() at line 1776 to "merge"
the lists.

Unfortunately the function does not actually merges contexts
with the same name, nor it checks for the event.

I don't know what a proper fix could be - as a minimum,
ast_merge_contexts_and_delete()
should issue a serious warning if ast_merge_contexts_and_delete()
finds two contexts with the same name, because the event
causes a rather unpredictable behaviour of the dialplan.

cheers
