[Asterisk-Users] Digit detect during a Background() inside a Macro wrongly jumps b ack to the calling context to match digits?

[Kris Boutilier]

Consider this dialplan fragment, where the call is being dialed into
[macro-process-routing] over an iax2 channel from another (same build)
Asterisk server:


	[macro-process-routing]
	; This is the entrypoint of the debug call but is also refered to by
Macro(process-routing) elsewhere in the dialplan

	; XXX-NNN-6800
	exten => _6800,1,Macro(6800-interceptor)

	; This is matched when 8 is dialed during macro-6800-interceptor,s,4
	exten => _8,1,Playback(welcome)	
	exten => _8,2,Hangup


	[macro-6800-interceptor]
	exten => s,1,DigitTimeout,2
	exten => s,2,ResponseTimeout,7
	exten => s,3,Answer
	exten => s,4,Background(autoattendant-ivr/grtg-6)
; Play full after-hours greeting

	exten => t,1,Goto(s,1)
	exten => i,1,Goto(s,1)

	; However, this is never be matched if 8 is dialed during (s,4)
above
	exten => _8,1,Playback(typhoon)
	exten => _8,2,Hangup


So, why does the DTMF detect jump out to [macro-process-routing] instead of
staying within [macro-6800-interceptor]? The output of '-vvv' during the
event (with macro-process-routing,_8 removed) goes something like:
