exten => 1234,n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=600)
exten => 1234,n,Dial(...)

I see the same problem here whenever a phone crashes.  Asterisk
merrily keeps the call up until I shoot it down manually from the
asterisk command line.  (This is with cvs-head from Nov-1 and sip
phones that all can reinvite.)

I'm surprised that folks using asterisk for gatewaying into the pstn
haven't raised a stink.  Having a trunk stuck on a for-pay call can
easily cost folks lots of money.
