This commit should not be reverted. It was completely incorrect to be running 
the macro on the caller's channel.

I see two potential fixes for this. The easier and less invasive change is to 
set the queue variables on both the caller and member channels. This way the 
variables are accessible in the member macro as well as any further processing 
that occurs on the caller channel after exiting the queue. The other potential 
change would be to add a new option that allows for a macro to run on the 
caller's channel.

The latter option would not be viable for any of the 1.6.X branches since it 
requires the addition of a new feature. That being said, I will work on 
implementing the first change I described. I will send an e-mail to the list 
when I have it completed.
